All you could download is either the Word viewer or a trial version. The
trial version is only good for 60 days and is a huge download. If you
qualify, you might want to check into purchasing the Student and Teachers
version of Office. Otherwise, the least expensive way to get Word is in the
Works Suite.

Do you want MS Word, a word processor made by Microsoft?
Or do you want a word processor, no matter who wrote it?

If you really, really don't want to pay for "a" word processor, you can
download OpenOffice: http://openoffice.org. There are more important
reasons to use OpenOffice. Money is the least important reason.

I only give you this suggestion because you explicitly write you want
to download which implies you don't want to pay for it. If you do want
to spend money, please buy Microsoft Word.

Or, WordPad might suffice, too, especially if he's a
newbie to word pocessing. But if he needs the "full"
Word feature set, OpenOffice won't provide it; he'll
need Word, unfortunately.

How about making an iso of the cd and putting that on the drive?

Or maybe it will install from a folder on the hard drive itself after an

All of the replies I have read should work fine. Although another idea
is if you are on a network and one other computer has a CD/DVD drive,
just share the drive on the network. Bingo! Now your netbook now has a
CD/DVD drive. Transfer rate maybe 2 to 4 times slower, but it works.

Hi--

Why do you need to put Office on the netbook with Easy Transfer? Easy
Transfer is aimed at transferring
things like:

–*User accounts

–*Files and folders

–*E-mail messages, settings, and contacts

–*Photos, music, and videos

–*Windows settings

–*Program data files and settings

–*Internet settings

But why can't you just put your Office (DVD? if it's 2007) into a DVD drive
and copy the files to the thumb drive and set it up from the thumb the way
Suzanne sugested? Why does ET have to be in the equation at all to install
Office on your netbook?

I've not put Office on a thumb drive, although I'm tempted to try it, but I
have installed a number of Win 7's on laptops with broken optical drive
using a couple steps I don't think you even need with Office.

As I understand it, you don't yet have the netbook, but that's what I'd try
when you get it.

Best of luck,

CH
