How do you download OpenOffice.org Writer without all the other open office software package?

OpenOffice.org Writer can be installed on its own. This is an option available in many Linux distributions. Consult your Linux documentation and package manager for your download options. If you find a single package, you are out of luck. If you find separate packages for Writer, Base, Calc, Impress, etc. (like in Ubuntu), Install just Writer and its pre-requisits.

However, the Windows editions install all components by default.
