Hi :) Ahh, swriter.exe, of course. It sounds like Write is a stand-alone program but LibreOffice/OpenOffice are not built that way. It is not like MS Office in that way. It is much more modular than that. LibreOffice and OpenOffice have a large core of code with libraries and other packages each playing their crucial parts for all of the front-ends. Writer is more like 'just' a front-end and Calc is another. I think the devs call them modules.
Sometimes people want to strip right back to get rid of all the bits they don't use, like they would with MS Office if they only wanted to use MS Word but this is not possible with LibreOffice. At best they can get rid of the front-end type modules such as Base or Impress or something but even then it might affect Writer in unexpected ways and it wouldn't free-up much space either. If you want something that can stand-alone and is as tiny and light as possible then AbiWord is a good option. It is another Open Source program and is very compatible with LibreOffice as it's kinda a sister/brother project. When bundled with Gnumeric (a spreadsheet program), they are sometimes called "Gnome Office". Each being dedicated to just one task means they are each very focused on just the thing that they do so sometimes they out-perform programs that are designed to integrate well with others. There are a lot of other options out there depending on whether you want more of a DeskTop Publishing tool (such as Scribus or LaTex) or more like a word-processor. There is one that gets rid of all the visible menus and rulers and stuff so that you can just focus on writing, there are also text-editors that make it easier to write various types of coding such as html, css, python, C++ and whatnot by colour-coding and highlighting errors.
