Google has finally brought Writely into the fold, fully integrating it into its other services. Before, Writely existed as a seperate service, still sporting the same interface it had when it was purchased by Google. Writely is a web-based word processor that allows you to create documents that are compatable with Microsoft Word.

With the launch of Documents, Google combines Writely and its recent Spreadsheet app into a single site. People have always talked about the possibility of a Google “Office” app
something that could replace the need for Microsoft Office. This could be the first step.
