  The Good: The free Writely word processor offers a clean interface that's a breeze to use from the start. Writely does the trick for writing, basic formatting, and multiperson editing while letting you save Word-compatible files, post to blogs, and tag documents by topic.

  The Bad: Writely requires Internet access; lacks advanced editing features; doesn't integrate with any tool for making spreadsheets or presentations; doesn't import or export Corel WordPerfect documents.

  The Bottom Line: Can Writely replace Microsoft Word? Yes, if you have stable Internet access and don't need a ton of editing and formatting features.
