Trellix is basically a word processor for creating Web documents. However, the program makes it simple to create any kind of document to be viewed onscreen, including business plans, presentations, documentation, reports etc. Each document comes with a 'map', which is a graphical representation of the file. The map is a vital part of the document and viewers can access any part of the document by clicking one of the page icons in the map. Trellix comes with several templates so you can create a multiplicity of smart, polished documents which look like a Web site when completed. As with any HTML document, you can create links between pages in the file or to other documents stored on your computer, network or on the World Wide Web. You can also insert graphics in the file. When you've finished your document you can publish it on the Web or send it to others via e-mail.

WordWeb is a free thesaurus/dictionary that you can keep on your desktop as you work; it also installs itself into whichever of the major word processors you're running. When you enter a word, the program displays spelling, part of speech, definitions and alternatives. Click on one of the tabs to find synonyms, antonyms etc. The program's interface is very attractive. Whether you're looking for an alternative/addition to the thesaurus in your word processor or want a standalone program, WordWeb gives you word power at zero cost.

If much of your time is spent looking for documents that you and your colleagues have created, you'll bless this program. It allows you to organise documents in any way which makes sense to you. And because it creates indexes, you can even include the same document in several indexes. For example, you might want to include a letter to a customer in both your 'customers' and 'products' indexes. Features include the ability to add notes directly to documents — notes can contain links to other documents or to URLs on the World Wide Web; create versions of documents as they evolve; use keywords to locate documents and more.
