I have Office 2007 and I'd like to put it on an eeePC. However due to its small disk I will only put Word on there. so under the "installation options" tab during installing, what are need by Word specifically and what can I strip down? I'm expecting the app to be around 30 MB after install if not less since I won't be using any app other than Word on it.

I JUST tried Windows 2007 (Word only) on a VMWare test I was running. @ 140 megs total.

I would suggest a slightly older version of Office if your goal is that small.

Or maybe abiword:

Maybe even openoffice:

http://download.openoffice.org/index.html

They both support MS word formats and are much, much lighter.

Office 2007 is actually quite bloated.

ya i can use openoffice writer by itself. so what are needed in the "optional components" specifically for writer?

Or, for a few bucks, Atlantis:

smallest WORD "substitute" I've ever seen.

"Optional components" are exactly that: optional. OOo Writer will work fine without them.

Try using a portable version of open office or using AbiWord. The portable version of AbiWord is between 9.8 and 17mb installed. AbiWord Link
