New York, NY (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

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 documents, spreadsheets and presentations along with everything needed to edit them everywhere. Like all software in PortableApps.com Format, it works at home, work or school, in a net cafe, even in a local library, making it easy for the user to essentially carry their computer right in their 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."
