Thinkfree Online which is the first MS-
compatible web-based online office in the
world, ThinkFree Office includes a word

8. Review
•Word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation
package use Microsoft Office file formats.Pros
•Graphs and drawings don't import well from Word.
No support for Excel pivot tables.Cons
•In the low-cost Office-alternative space we prefer
the free OpenOffice.org 2.0. But ThinkFree does
deliver reasonable Office compatibility at a
reasonable price.
Bottom Line

9. Importing/Exporting
Because each program function is
pared down from its more complex
cousins, it’s very simple to use. You
won’t get confused by a plethora of
extra options or variables. This
office software is simple to use. The
learning curve will come into effect
with the syncing and transferring
files, but that is simply a matter of
keeping straight what’s online and
what’s on your computer, and
knowing the difference.

10. Spreadsheet
Importing is made simple
through the import
function on the content
manager. The manager
acts like your media
player by uploading files
to the manager system
either on your actual
computer or from
somewhere else via the
accompanying website.
Then simply use the sync
function to put the files
where you want.
Presentation
Because this software is
designed to be
compatible with the
Microsoft Office software
suite, it’s not really
designed to fully go with
the Mac flow. ThinkFree
Office is more of a
program designed on a
PC and then ported into
a Mac computer.
Help &
Support
There’s a blog through
the website with videos
and other tidbits
regarding how to use the
software. If your
questions aren’t covered
through these two
options, there is a forum,
on which you can direct
your specific questions to
those who can help.
