I personally think that Microsoft Office is the better option because it is easier to navigate, but that could just be because it is what I know how to use best. You have more freedom with placement of images and charts on Microsoft Office.One thing I did prefer Google Docs over Microsoft Office was that it automatically saves it for you and you are able to open the file on any computer. You don’t really have that option with Microsoft Office. But then again, you can upload your files to Google Drive and access it anywhere. ................
