Announcing LibreOffice Portable, a Full-Featured Office Suite For USB,
Removable and Cloud Drives

PortableApps.com and The Document Foundation are proud to announce the
immediate availability of LibreOffice Portable 3.3, a portable version
of the free productivity suite for Windows.

LibreOffice Portable runs right from a USB flash drive or cloud drive
and allows users to use a full-featured word processor, spreadsheet,
presentation tool, database and drawing program on every PC with no
installation needed.  It's a great way to carry your documents,
spreadsheets and presentations along with everything you need to edit
them with you wherever you go.  Like all software in PortableApps.com
Format, it works at home, work or school, in a net cafe, even in your
local library, making it easy to essentially carry your computer right
in your pocket.

LibreOffice Portable includes all the new features in the just-released
LibreOffice 3.3 including SVG support, improved PDF support, better
document protection, usability enhancements, improved compatibility and
thousands of other fixes and improvements.  LibreOffice Portable makes
use of PortableApps.com's award-winning portable software technology to
allow it to run without affecting the host PC or requiring
administrative rights to install.  No changes needed to be made to
LibreOffice itself to make it portable.

"LibreOffice is a wonderful addition to our lineup of portable software
and will be a big hit with our users", said John T. Haller, lead
developer of PortableApps.com.  "The Document Foundation has been great
to work with and we look forward to a long partnership."

"We've been working with PortableApps.com to ensure a portable version
of LibreOffice would be available in conjunction with the 3.3 release",
said Florian Effenberger, Steering Committee Member of The Document
Foundation.  "Many of our users are fans of portable software and
working with an open source platform was a natural fit for us."

LibreOffice Portable is available for immediate download free of charge
from http://www.libreofficeportable.org/ and
