GOOGLE DOCS vs MICROSOFT WORD - A LITTLE HELP?








I have been paying for Microsoft Word for years.  Today I discovered that Google offers a free word processor - Google Docs - and it pretty much does everything that Word does; except it saves on the Cloud instead of on my hard drive.    

I am using this Google Docs document to try and post on my Ol’Buzzard blog, but find I am having some trouble.   At first I was seeing a blank post when previewed - then I realized that Docs was pasting a black fount on a black background.  I never had to make any adjustment with Word - it previewed as a white fount on Blogger.

I am considering terminating my costly Microsoft Works but I am concerned whether I will still be able to view all the Word documents I have saved to my hard drive.

Does anyone have any comments on Google Docs or if I will still be able to view Word docs saved to my computer?

Thanks
the Ol’Buzzard
