wcology Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 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:http://www.abisource.com/Maybe even openoffice:http://download.openoffice.org/index.htmlThey both support MS word formats and are much, much lighter.Office 2007 is actually quite bloated.

anonymous_user Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 "Optional components" are exactly that: optional. OOo Writer will work fine without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnik Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
