Thanks, CPHennessy, for your help. Unfortunately, I don't have time to try this elimination process at the moment. Fortunately, OpenOffice seems to remove itself cleanly, so I'll just install Calc when I need it and remove everything when I'm done.
I am fairly sure there are installation programs that use a TEMP folder and remove unnecessary files and folders when an installation is complete. Maybe your programmers could work on such an installation program for OpenOffice. I can't be the only one discouraged by having so much disk space occupied by repair/restore files. A re-install from a CD over an existing installation should retain things like my toolbar customization the way installing a newer version of Firefox leaves my settings in place.
