On my systems (XP ; Win 7) there is one icon for Open Office. Earlier,
I tried to give an easy way for XP that provides icons for OO Writer,
Calc and Draw
Win 7 - click on Start in lower left corner, select All Programs, right
click on the individual program, select create icon. This will appear
on the desk top. It can be moved to a tool bar from there.

How can I create a desktop shortcut just for opening the Writer
section of Open Office? Do I have to view all of the sub-programs
before I can open Writer?

Do it ONCE the long way. In Win 7 or 8 right-click on its icon in the
taskbar and choose Pin this program to the taskbar. Close the program
and the icon will remain there. If you don't like exactly where it's
sitting, click and drag it left or right. If you don't want to leave
it pinned, right-click on the icon and choose Properties. In the
properties window look for Target; its contents will be highlighted in
blue. Press Ctrl+C to copy those contents. Close the properties
window. Right-click on the desktop , choose New > Shortcut; Paste in
the contents copied from the Target. (Mine looks like "C:\Program
Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\swriter.exe" -- yours will
probably be somewhat different .) This creates a new icon on the
desktop.
If you're using a different version of Windows you may have to adapt
some of these steps to your situation. Hope this helps.
