Google Docs<\/strong> Did the electricity ever go out or turn off your computer without saving what you wrote and wasting your effort?<\/p>\n

Has Word suddenly froze as if from the heights of Siberia, with the specter of shutting down and starting over?<\/p>\n

Have you tried mixing the Arabic and English languages in your writings, so the words overlapped and got out of place.. and you got out of your senses?!<\/p>\n

Did you go to print your document and find its format corrupt due to different versions?<\/p>\n

Did Office demand that you purchase an original copy and put you between two bitter sweet things, “either pay or withhold writing”?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear and fellow trouble-hunter, now is the time for us to work comfortably. All your previous and subsequent problems will vanish with Google Docs, which is a modern, smart and sophisticated alternative to the “Word” program, which helped us a lot – to be honest – in the beginning.<\/p>\n
