I want to use MS Word at my workplace, but they don't have it on their computers. I can't install it, but if I could put it on a flash drive I could work with it. Can this be done? I have the MS Word CD. Thanks.

No, this will not work. If your flash drive is big enough you could copy the installation cd to the flash drive, but it would have to be installed from there when you got to work. When a program is installed it copies files to various places, like in the windows directory of the computer, therefore it has to be installed on the computer youre working on. If they have any word processor, you might be able to convert your word doc to whatever program they are using.

As the other posters have said, no. However if you need to create and edit Word Docs on a flash drive use the free Open Office Portable discussed at these 2 links:

Microsoft be conscious won't be in a position to be transferred that way. you prefer an installer. one way is to put in the unique Microsoft place of work CD/DVD into your laptop, reproduction those documents directly to a flash force, and then attempt it, yet i'm undecided if which will paintings.

No.
Use the Word Processor the company supplies. It can't be that much different than M$-Word!
