I am an absolute newbie when it comes to this stuff, that being said, I wondered how one would go about adding word 2007 to your build. Thanks in advance. Phil :smile:

Hi Phil,

Word 2007 seems to me a little heavy for a PE.
If you want a word processor, you can watch a lighter solution like AbiWord, or full-featured with Open Office, Libre Office.
You should be able to use Portable Apps easily.

You can get a portable version of Word 2007 from other places and include it as regular :)

Yes, portable version is the right way.

it's possible to create with Spoon or Thinapp.

or alternatives:

maybe getting WS Office to portable easier

even ready portable alternative, Libre Office

Another possibilty: Add Word and Excel from Office '97. All you need is these files (just an example from my Dutch version):

Code: [Select]
06-10-1997 Excel.exe (5,604,624)
03-02-1997 EXCEL8.OLB (584,704)
16-06-2011 excellaunch.ahk (96)
05-06-2007 Microsoft Windows8.xlb (7,918)
11-08-1997 MSO7NLD.DLL (532,752)
11-08-1997 MSO97.DLL (3,782,416)
11-08-1997 MSOC.DLL (86,528)
11-08-1997 MSROUTE.DLL (71,168)
29-09-2012 Normal.dot (28,160)
03-02-1997 OSAINTL.DLL (6,928)
03-02-1997 SCANLOAD.DLL (12,288)
19-08-1997 WINWORD.EXE (5,324,560)
03-02-1997 WINWORD8.SRG (27,128)
29-09-2007 wordlaunch.ahk (156)
29-08-1997 WWINTL32.DLL (1,535,908)
11-08-1997 XL8409.DLL (24,064)
11-08-1997 XL8413.DLL (56,320)
03-02-1997 XLCALL32.DLL (5,120)
11-08-1997 XLINTL32.DLL (702,464)

Total: 17,5mb. The .ahk files are used for launching word.exe or excel.exe, and automatically closing the dialog box about some missing VBA dll. Maybe this is not a solution for you, but believe it or not, I work with this setup everyday, makes for a portable "Office '97 lite", never had **any** problems with it for over 10 years... (I use Excel 95% of the time). One note though: Excel needs the Office '97 SR1 update, because without it you'll encounter the "recalc bug" (recalculations take a loooong time).
Great for PE, any old PC, etc. etc. Fast, as well....

Found Word and Excel 97, just run the exe and you're set:

Nice find, but I can't extract these two exe files, not with 7zip (open inside) or anything.
Too bad I can't see the files inside, to check if they're safe...
It's a thinapp package, it's a bit complicated to extract it.

However, ibay770, please think about our forum rules here.
