This story is part of the Digital Trends Amazon Prime Day Coverage 2024

Target just revealed that Target Circle Week will run from July 9 to July 15, overlapping with Amazon’s Prime Day that’s scheduled for July 11 to July 12.

The big sale event will be open to members of the retailer’s Target Circle loyalty program, who will be able to receive discounts of up to 50% for certain items. If you’re not yet a member, don’t worry — you can join at any time, and membership is free. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to earn 1% from every purchase to redeem at a later time, access exclusive deals, and get 5% off for your birthday, among other benefits.

With Target Circle Week partially running alongside this year’s Prime Day deals, there won’t be a shortage of offers for shoppers who are hoping to enjoy lower prices when purchasing particular products. We expect a lot of other retailers to also try to take advantage of the increased shopping activity during Prime Day, so keep an eye out for sales from the likes of Walmart and Best Buy.

What can you buy during Target Circle Week and Prime Day? Practically anything that you want or need. The most popular discounts will be from TV deals, phone deals, and laptop deals, but even the most niche items may receive price cuts during these sales. If you see an offer that you like, it’s highly recommended that you proceed with your purchase right away, because your next chance at significant savings may not happen until this year’s Black Friday deals roll out.

You can easily change the left, right, top, and bottom margins in Google Docs and have a few different ways to do it.

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

Using Microsoft Teams affords video conferencing, real-time discussions, document sharing and editing, and more for companies and corporations. It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.

Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs

For the last few decades, Microsoft Word has been the de facto standard for word processors across the working world. That's finally starting to shift, and it looks like one of Google's productivity apps is the heir apparent. The company's Google Docs solution (or to be specific, the integrated word processor) is cross-platform and interoperable, automatically syncs, is easily shareable, and perhaps best of all, is free.

However, using Google Docs proves it still has a long way to go before it can match all of Word's features -- Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over 30 years, after all, and millions still use Microsoft Word. Will Google Docs' low barrier to entry and cross-platform functionality win out? Let's break down each word processor in terms of features and capabilities to help you determine which is best for your needs.
How does each word processing program compare?
To put it lightly, Microsoft Word has an incredible advantage over Google Docs in terms of raw technical capability. From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Microsoft has added new tools and options in each successive version. Most of the essential editing tools are available in Google Docs, but users who are used to Word will find it limited.
