You do have to download the whole huge 90+Mb file but when installing it you will have the option as to which of the 6 "Components" you want.

The installation of the "Writer" will take only X??? of space on your Hard Drive.

Hi; I had a major problem converting my old WordPerfect document of about 33 pages to PDF. In desperation I downloaded OpenOffice. For some years I had been advising others to get it but I was fairly happy with WordPerfect. No longer so. I am VERY impressed with your OpenOffice suite and thank you for it.

I went to your page to do that but found it wanted EUROS only. Having no idea what to enter there, I declined to make the donation. I wanted to see C$ or US$ there.
