Ok, strange question. Is there an online word processor that when i type, it looks like random code, but if i hit convert, it will display what i was actually typing? I know it sounds strange but might come in handy

What you're talking about is called obfuscation and is typically used in malware.

Oh snap. Not trying to make malware. Just trying to make my sensitive documents, as i write them look like code or hash so that when someone walks by or looks at it when they try to open it, it just displays code.

Thanks

Then use encryption, even 7zip archives can be encrypted.

I personally wouldn't trust a 3rd party site with sensitive data.
