Work on Office files
Microsoft Office is the gold standard in office suites. Businesses everywhere use it for documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Given the demand, the program carries a hefty price tag.
What if you don’t have Office? This makes it inconvenient to work on files from home. You may not be able to edit personal files others send.
ThinkFree Online (www.thinkfree.com/common/main.tfo) has you covered. You can use it on any computer to edit Office documents or create new Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible documents.

In a fluffy little story, just right for the McDonalds of newspapers, she does give one great tip.
When I was having outrageous problems with WinRot that was killing Office, I used several free web services. ThinkFree, Google Docs, and Zoho Writer were all admirable substitutes for Office.
You have to wonder though.
DO I really trust my critical docs to the internet on a free site?
