Even better, Google search for Open Office Portable.
The entire Open Office suite ("word", "excel", "powerpoint", "access")
can be installed to a flash drive. Now you have a free office suite
that can travel with you without the need to install anything on the
actual computer. It comes in handy if you have to read documentation in
Word format on a server that doesn't have MS Office installed.
I kind of favor Open Office myself over the MS product as I consistently
fight MS Office with formatting issues. OO's export-to-PDF feature it
worth its weight in gold. I don't think OO can handle MS Office 2007
Word documents (*.docx) yet. Then again, I abhor Office 2007 and
usually save documents in Office 97-2003 compatibility format.

It's an open source office replacement...it can import and save to most
MS Office document versions. It comes standard with most Linux
distributions...I use it on my home machine (Ubuntu)...it's a pretty
good suite

Has anybody used this tool OpenOffice.org? How long has it been around?
I just got a link to download it while updating java on my laptop to
download it for free. Its description sounds good and I'm tempted to try
it out.
This is the link..
