Software developer Thinkfree has launched a free online office package. The ThinkFree Online software includes a word processor,spreadsheet and a presentation program. Each is compatible with its Microsoft Office equivalent, but with no cost to access. Because it uses Java,it is compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers.
Registration and basic use is free,but accessing some features work on a points system.All new users receive 100 points on registration, and extra points can either be bought or earned by getting other users to sign up. Points can be spent on clip art or templates,to remove banner ads or to increase the 1Gb of storage space included at registration.An offline version is available for £35.
