Hello,
Open Office use to be a free alternative to Microsoft Office,
that did not hog up your computers memory. Now its just
a free alternative... To Bad! I even tried re-install with the 2
programs I really use. I saved a whopping 1 MB!
Would Be Nice To Only Download The Only Ones We Need
Without All The Fluff....
One thing to bear in mind is that with OpenOffice, you have a fully
integrated package that shares a lot of common code between the various
applications. This not only saves disk space over separate apps, but
also improves function between the various applications. As one very
basic example, you can, while in Writer, open a spread sheet. Also,
while you can select individual components, it's not recommened because,
as you found out, it won't save much disk space. It will also reduce
some function in what you do install. So, bottom line, just install the
entire package. After all, disk space is extremely cheap these days.
