Hi everyone, is there any alternative to Word, online, that has tabs? I find it difficult to use the university (Bucks New) computers for major assignments as I can't ungroup taskbar buttons and the grouped ones make it difficult for me. Unbelievably, the University's disability service has suggested that asking for a reasonable adjustment (allowing me to ungroup taskbar buttons) would be under the "guise" of a reasonable adjustment (in other words, it's suggested that it would be a pretense!), so I'm looking for some alternative so I can do my work. With tabs, at least they wouldn't be laid out across the screen. Not a great alternative but better than nothing. Any suggestions?
I know the grouped thing may be easy for some people, but I find it very confusing.
I can't download anything, so it has to be online
Cheers

Have you tried Office 365? They have an online version of Word on it...
I just tried opening two blank documents in it (my uni is signed up to it, yay!) and it just does it as Firefox tabs, so it's nicely alongside everything elseAnd that means I can move documents right next to whatever I'm looking at on the internet
You rock! -
