Hi Phil,
That's correct. You have to think of OOo a little differently to other
competitor's suites.  OpenOffice.org is a single application with
different user interfaces, rather than a bunch of non-related individual
applications bundled together as a "suite".  Calc is one of those
interfaces, not a separate application. This is most easily demonstrated
by the fact that you can open any of those interfaces from the file menu
rather than having to launch a different application.

This has a number of advantages, one of which is a relatively small
download size in relation to the breadth of functionality.

If however, a standalone Open Source spreadsheet package is an absolute
necessity to you, then there is always Gnumeric (http://gnumeric.org)

Cheers

GL
