Is there any way to start any of the individual Libre Office

Thanks.

On the upper right end of the top Menu Bar is an X box, click that and Writer
will close and leave you in the Start screen. The Start/Splash is the same
screen you get if you start soffice instead of one of the programs.

Yes indeed. However, if I understand correctly the question, Roger wants to
know if there is a way to keep a standard Write window open, but with a grey
work zone, just like what happens with Microsoft Windows.
To that, I'll say NO. I would add that most (all?) modules of LibreOffice are more
tightly integrated than those of Microsoft Office, so no time or resources are
"wasted" by loading the start screen.
But in MS Word, when one closes the last open document, the grey screen is not
a new document that you can start typing in - it's just background. You still
have to click on File/New or File/Open. Personally I also found the Start
screen (where one can choose a type of document or open a template) a bit of a
nuisance. Someone reported on a way to skip that screen both at start-up and
on closing a document back in the days before LibO, and I implemented it, and
carried my profile over to LibO, so it works that way. LibO now starts
directly into a Writer doc (NOTE: I do NOT have a script that calls LibO with a
parameter). I'm not sure whether it was in the preferences, or somewhere in
the menu system that this setting was found, but it was well-hidden.
Unfortunately, I have forgotten how it was done, and I haven't yet been able to
find the original references to it by searching the archives at OOo.
If anyone sees this and remembers, please let me know. It will also help the
OP.

Find the writer executable, create a shortcut to it (place it where you
wish it to appear) and that shortcut will open writer direct and when
you close writer it is closed completely.
