After getting your Gmail account, you should head over to Google Docs. Here's a screenshot of the home page.
The blue Documents tab will open a program just like Microsoft Word and the Presentation tab will open a program just like PowerPoint. You can save your document on your hard drive, and it is also saved on the internet, so you can get it from anywhere and from any computer.
