New to OO. To save space on my drive, I am wondering if I can install just the writer ( word processing), instead of the complete suite?

Re: Install only writer
It is possible. When you run the installer you have to pick the Custom Install option.
Please note that there is a fair bit of the suite that will still be installed as some of the components are required whether you have one part (in your case Writer) installed or the entire suite.
I did a comparison a while back regarding the amount of space required on a component by component basis, with a comparison to the entire suite. While I can't find my notes at this point, it seems to me that even installing just one component still required about 75% of the space required for the entire suite.

Re: Install only writer
Thanks. So it seems that for not much more space I can install the whole suite. Seems like it might be the way to go.
Re: Install only writer
On my test Windows 7 a full install of AOO uses just over 300 Mb in the Program Files directory - there may be a few other small files elsewhere.

Re: Install only writer
Using Writer to create labels or for mail merge requires Base to be installed.
On a modern PC the disk is so large that the saving is trivially small in comparison. Run a disk cleanup utility - it will almost certainly delete far more junk from your disk that you save by installing only part of AOO. Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.
