Writely (writely.com) is an online word processor that works like Microsoft Word. Since it is online, you can avoid a lot of the hassle associated with collaborative document editing that you may have encountered with a standalone word processor. Writely supports exporting and importing of Microsoft Word, RTF, and OpenOffice formats. From your account page, you can export multiple documents as a ZIP file, useful for example, in a situation where you are writing documentation for a product that is spread across many documents.
