Does anyone use it?
How compatible is it?
Any major features missing or lacking?

I use the current version of OpenOffice. I believe it does everything that ThinkFree does...but it's free! Open-source of course. If you like it after using it, just send a donation in. Screw Micro$oft and Mr. Gates.

Not what you asked for, GJW, but another vote for OpenOffice. Excellent set of progs.

Thanks all,
Does anyone know if OpenOffice has an available add-in (a la Word) that can create docs for Microsoft Reader?

Re: Looking for impressions of ThinkFree Office Su

I was very impressed with Think Free office. I don't do a lot of work with office, but to work with and return a couple of word documents it worked great. I never used it beyond the demo period though, I just don't have the need for MS products /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm in that happy place where I don't work with other people who have had their technology choices dictated to them by a corporate IT department /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have also used Open Office. A year or so ago I couldn't get the darn thing to even install, but it has come a long way since then and is a very good piece of software now. Definitely worth exploring and experimenting with before you fork over the HUGH fee for the MS Office suite.
