This is one of the disadvantages of doing a custom install. Since
you did not install Writer, all of the functions that require Writer
will not work. It is very likely that Impress will not work as well
either. Text boxes will not probably work.
OpenOffice.org (OOo) is an integrated office suite. When one
application performs a task normally done by another application, it
uses that second application to do it.
Your problem should be solved by searching for setup.exe in one
of the OOo's folders (probably Program). Double click it to begin the
installation program. Select Custom Install again. This time add
Writer to your system.
