Hancom Office for Mac

Summary

ThinkFree Office is an alternative productivity suite that can open and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations with an interface and workflow that closely resemble Microsoft Office. While it mimics much of MS Office’s look and behavior — particularly the word processor — it is a commercial product rather than a free one.

Core applications

• Calc — the spreadsheet component for numerical work and tables.
• Show — the module for creating and editing presentation slides.
• Write — the word processing program for composing and formatting text documents.

How it compares to other suites

Functionality is largely on par with Microsoft Office and with free suites such as OpenOffice.org. However, unlike OpenOffice.org, ThinkFree Office is not a free product despite what its name might imply. The interface often feels copied from MS Office, which can make the transition familiar for Office users.

Notable features and extras

• Built-in export to PDF for any document created within the suite.
• Free document management and syncing from Windows Mobile and Android devices.

Limitations and drawbacks

• Spell checking appears to support only English; other languages are not well supported.
• Initial startup can be very slow.
• There is no option to customize toolbars.
