    Is it possible at all? I have an 8gb Corsair Flash Survivor GT and another 2gb Corsair Flash Voyager standard, so no U3. MojoPac is not an option, as I need to be able to use it on the lab computers at my school, which I don't have admin access to. Is there any way at all? I have portable OpenOffice, but I just like the little extra bells and whistles Office 2007 has.

    In case it makes any difference, which I doubt it does, it's the enterprise edition.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    I very much doubt it, due to necessary registry tie-ins for registration/activation (even on the enterprise edition). The only way I can really think of is by having a stripped down image of a virtualized XP/Office 2k7 setup (Parallels or something of that nature), but even still that probably won't work since you'd need the virtual machine client installed on any computer and I doubt something like that could be run off of a flash drive.
