Wait…there is one thing I can’t figure out how to do. I’m trying to INSERT a picture in this email, but I can only ATTACH one. Wonder why that is..

Definitions. An email is, in a sense, a text document. WORD creates a "document" with benefits.
You can 'attach' a photo, PDF, MP3, video to an email. You can also 'insert' a link to another reference in an email.

The same is true for a WORD document.

WORD creates a formatted document. It, WORD, has more capabilities. Not only can you 'attach' the same file types to the WORD document, you can 'insert, re-size and locate' a photo or video within the WORD document.

I feel like a back-seat driver. I go back to WordStar, SideKick, Word, and others. They are the grandparents of the current WORD in iCloud.

And the Google Drive word processor. ( google.com/drive ) The advantage that I see comes from the ability to write, copy, print, edit and reference a document in the cloud.

Here is the difference. WORD creates your document on your computer. You have to send the document to another person OR make changes from YOUR computer. (the doc can be saved in the 'cloud'.)

Once you create or save a document (or spreadsheet, data file) in the 'google.com/drive' you can write, copy, print, edit AND control WHO can see the document...and the other attributes: edit, write, etc.
