Let’s say you want to open some office documents such as spreadsheet on a cybercafe. If the cybercafe is using licensed software, most probably you won’t find Microsoft Office installed on it because it’s just too expensive and mostly people go to cybercafe to play games, check emails and web browsing.

So what do you do if you urgently need to open spreadsheet and document file? Downloading OpenOffice, a free alternative to Microsoft Office is over 100MB! And there’s a possibility that the cybercafe has some protection on the system to disallow installation of any programs.

What you need is a small office replacement that is smaller than 2MB that don’t require installation to solve this problem.


Floppy Office is a collection of small, self contained no-install free office software applications which enable the end use access to every tool, utility and program imaginable for home, business, and student users alike. All of the self-contained, standalone applications require no installation, whatsoever, and for this reason make the perfect companion software package for your USB stick. All one needs to do is to extract all the zip files containing each application to their USB, configure them to their liking, and they are all set.

The applications included in this bundle are: an encryption program, a zip utility, an FTP client, a multiple document interface Rich Text editor, a notepad-style editor, secure file shredder, full POP email client, web server for hosting files via http, a mini tree-style outliner, vector graphics editor, a spreadsheet program compatible with Microsoft Excel, file renaming utility, and a PDF creator. Since these applications are so small, you may be wondering if these are all console applications. The answer is no — they all have a conventional, intuitive, graphic user interface.

Floppy Office used to be able to fit in a floppy diskette. Now programs are updated and got bigger, hence, file size also increased. But it’s still 2MB which you can download within seconds and will have no problems running it on the cybercafe’s computer because no installation required.

Floppy Office comes with a simple Readme guide to the collection, but most programs are zipped within the main Zip file, and have their own instructions. Floppy Office is actually a compilation of small programs created by different people and they are not created by the owner of xtort.net. No matter what, thanks to xtort.net for making our lives easier by compiling a list of useful office tools in one pack.
