Have you looked into using portable apps on a USB stick, would be a balance over speed vs hassle saved.

There's Abiword too for the lighter option.

While were in that area. Theres a few open source apps on the
University workstations as it is. Is there any chance of getting Open
Office deployed or at least some parts of Open Office? If so do we
need to talk to or lobby someone?

I work around it now by exporting to PDF then printing, saving to doc
format isn't ideal and sometimes screws up. I mean giving out CDs is
going to pretty useless if the workstations don't support the formats.
