Google Docs

This is one of the BEST Google tools out there! It look just like a word document, but with TONS of possibilities!! You will NEVER have to save your document again because it is automatically placed in your GOOGLE DRIVE (or, known as the 'Cloud'). That means you can access your document ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
