Office Setup files

[Jim G]

I purchased office 2007 for my desktop computer which just recently died
(motherboard went bad). I bought a new sony that came without a dvd/cd
drive. (its a handheld computer). I travel alot so this is very convenient
for me. I have no way to install office to this palmtop because it doesnt
have a drive. I went to a friends and we copied the ms word, excel and
outlook folders to my thumbdrive and i tried to install them that way but it
failed. Is there anyway to install office to my handheld without a cd-rom
drive? I dont have a network at my place so I cant do it remotely. I also
only have about 20gigs of freespace on the palmtop so I want to install just
the apps I need. Right now the only pc I have is this palmtop. There is a 60
day trial on the sony but its not the pro version that I have and when i
entered my serial number it came back as invalid. I am leaving on Tuesday
for Phoenix and need atleast word installed so I can work. Any ideas?

Thanks

You might try copying the contents of the Office 2007 DVD to your
thumbdrive, and then copying from the thumbdrive to a temporary folder

Does it have a USB connection? If yes,then get a cheap USB CD drive, hook it up and install your Office suite. Remove the trial first.
