[Solved] Is there an alternative Office program to MS and Open Office?

I did like Open Office, but I was looking for a smaller program. After installing Libre Office, I discovered it was also very large, although it worked just as well. It also included an option for Pinyun characters and a conversion tool to export a file to PDF, which worked great.

However, I found that I was able to install my old MS Office 2003 (Office11), that I use on my XP computer, and it works great on my new Win 7 64-bit computer, and it is only 205.93 MB. That solved my problem.

Thanks for all the information, though, everyone.

That probably should not have been my primary consideration. I had both MS Office and Open Office on my XP computer, but I wanted to start off with smaller programs on my new Windows 7 computer. Since my Office 2003 works on my new computer, I will use it instead. I tried some of the other programs suggested and, of those I tried, I found no problems with any of them, except that some of them were larger than my old MS Office, which also has the Office Outlook. That way I don't have to look for a separate mail program. You are right, though, if I wanted to reduce additional space, I could reinstall it, using just Outlook and Word, since I seldom use Access or Excel at home, unless I had either of those file types in an email attachment to open. I really have too many programs on my XP, and I did not want to start cluttering up my new Windows 7 computer with a lot of large programs and files. It could eventually get out of hand, and slow down my computer, especially during antivirus and defrag scans. I do a scan periodically to see how much space each program occupies, so I can make adjustments as I go along.
