Think Free
This program allows you to create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents online for free. You can also upload Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents onto the site and edit them online. It is not a flawless program, some of the formatting features available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will not transfer exactly to Think Free. However, for the most part it is a very useful tool for a student who does not have these three programs on their computer.
In order to use Think Free you must download their JAVA program which could take up to 20 minutes.
