If you are looking to use Google Docs but also want the security of Microsoft Word then the Offisync Beta plugin may be worth considering. Offisync allows you to open and save your documents online in Google Docs and access them from any computer. This enables you to access your files from any computer with or without Microsoft Office. You can also manage, create and delete Google docs folders and add collaborators to your documents and manage their permissions.
