Not an idea
OpenOffice.org works great, including the Writer application. The only problem is that it doesn’t support exporting files to doc/docx/rtf which works on all these crappy versions of MS Word, especially when the text contains non-latin characters. The exporting works, in fact, though it is always like a card game — maybe the file will be readable on the Windows computer with a specific version of MS Word, and maybe not. Exporting to HTML doesn’t work correctly with some of the formatting. The PDF export, though, works amazingly, without any problems, but hey, it is not really common to find a PDF reader on a Windows computer (especially if it is an office computer without Internet access, which you have to, however, use for printing documents). The workaround would be to place a portable (yes, maybe you are not even allowed to install new software on the computer) PDF reader on the flash drive, but it is not much comfortable, especially if the person doesn’t know where to get a portable PDF reader and also he or she hasn’t a background in computer enough to open the portable reader, then find the open dialog in the reader, and then find the needed file and open it.
