I would suggest posting your question in a tech support area for your
tablet. I can't imagine buying a computer without a CD drive. Heck, I still
want a floppy drive.

Hi Cioccolato,

If you're referring to a 'thumb drive' that uses a USB connection to your Tablet PC, if (a) the thumbdrive has a large enough
capacity to hold a copy of the Office 2003 CD and (b) the thumbdrive is seen by Windows on your Tablet PC as a regular disk drive,
then you should be able to install from that thumbdrive after copying the Office 2003 CD onto it. However, since the MS Installer
often looks for the original drive used to install Office you may want to first recopy the Office CD from the thumbdrive onto the
Tablet PC hard drive and then install from there rather than carry the thumbdrive with you all the time.

Use an external USB CD or DVD drive.
