Three things Google Docs does better Real-time collaboration If your work requires a full range of features and offline editing, it's still very hard to beat Office. Google has improved Docs over the years, adding new features and making it work better, it still pales in comparison to what Office has been able to do for the last decade. Google Docs can work offline, but you'll need to have opened your file before you go off the grid. Not to mention, Office was designed to work both online and off, so you can do your work no matter where you go. And for many people, Excel is the gold standard program for crunching large amounts of data.
That's because Word, Excel and PowerPoint are packed with advanced features, like mail merge, detailed charts and animated slides that are missing or limited with other programs. Microsoft Office has long been the standard for those who use word processors, spreadsheet tools and presentation builders at work. It's essentially a bookmark for your documents, and it's a fantastic tool for anyone working on a lengthy project over several days or weeks.
