Expert Solution
Step 1

The programmers that are used for word processing are both Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Because of the simplicity of the features, both of these can be viewed online.

In the case of Microsoft, it does not come as standalone software, rather it is important to purchase the full suites and thus it is costly.

 

In addition to that, there is online word processing in Microsoft Word and it was developed by eliminating toolbars and various select ribbons so that it can load online faster.

 

Microsoft Word Online was unable to manage complicated documents, while Google docs, on the other hand, were built to allow access to cross-platforms such as Unix, Mac, Windows, etc.

 

We can access any function online in the case of Google Docs, but these features are only available when the internet is there and the data saved is on the Google drive. The data can then be viewed offline, but it is not possible to operate on it.
