Not currently, sorry. It's possible that this would be done in the future, but few people feel that it's worth the extra work because you would save very little in download time.

You see, to an average user it might look like OpenOffice.org is composed of several, fairly distinct programs. But the truth is that it's one core program with all the functionality. What we call "Writer", "Calc", "Draw" and "Impress" are almost like "skins" that go on top (well, more than skins...). This is actually a very smart decision. It makes OpenOffice.org a much smaller download.

For example, a full installation of the latest OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta takes up 264 MB. Whereas the MS Office version from 2 years ago (2003) has a *minimum* requirement of 400 MB and a ful installation of 790 MB.

Cheers,
Daniel.
