• An online office suite or online productivity suite is a type of office suite offered by websites in the form of software as a service. They can be accessed online from any Internet-enabled device running any operating system[1]. This allows people to work together worldwide and at any time, thereby leading to international web-based collaboration and virtual teamwork. Usually, the basic versions are offered for free and for more advanced versions one is required to pay a nominal subscription fee.
Applications are often developed on the Web 2.0 paradigms with leverage on the existing developer community. Players come from both the commercial software market and from the open source, free software communities.
• Examples of where the term may apply include:• The centralized administration of office productivity
software, installation, licensing and version control;• Collaborative applications which improve personal
and organizational productivity;• Centralized storage of data, rather than traditional
personal data responsibility;• Applications which focus on collaborative data
sharing, document review and document resource management;
• Office applications which are able to be run from multiple independent platforms with a suitable back-end framework to present the application in a uniform manner.
• The cost is low.• There is no need to download or install
software outside of the office suite's web page.• Online office suites can run with minimal
hardware requirements.• Online office suites provide the ability for a
group of people to share a document without the need to run their own server.
• There is no need to purchase or upgrade a software license.
• Online office suites are portable.
Access requires connectivity. There are speed and accessibility
issues. The number of features available is an
issue. There may be a subscription charge to
use the service.

A function key is a key on a computer or terminal keyboard which can be programmed so as to cause an operating system command interpreter or application program to perform certain actions. On some keyboards/computers, function keys may have default actions, accessible on power-on.
In computing, a modifier key is a special key on a computer keyboard that modifies the normal action of another key when the two are pressed in combination.
For example, Alt+F4 in Microsoft Windows will close the program in the active window ; in this instance, Alt is the modifier key.
