This week’s tech tip was about online word processing. If you ever need to view a document, but you don’t have Word or Powerpoint on your computer and you don’t want to install anything, Thinkfree.com will let you view and print the document online. It also will allow you to convert documents to different formats, and if you wish to, you can upload your document to Thinkfree so you can access it from any other computer that can access the internet. Again, the web address is www.ThinkFree.com. Now, if you need to create Word documents online, there are services for that as well, such as below:

ZohoWriter.com – Is an online word processor that allows you to create and store documents online, post documents to a blog, or even import/export documents to and from ZohoWriter, to Microsoft Office or other formats. Allows the use of a Google or Yahoo account as a login.

Google Docs and Spreadsheets – A Google service that allows you to create, store, and organize documents and spreadsheets online, again, for free. You can use your Google account (like if you have a Gmail account already).

Adobe Buzzword – Requires you to make a free account for it, but lets you work with other people on documents collaboratively, like would be helpful for a school project.
