Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Is partial installation possible (Mac)?

AbiWord and Gnumeric are very very much lighter but possibly lack some of the 
functionality you might be looking for

Some old links here ...

I think they are about 20Mb each.  Alternatively, why not try google-docs or 
some other Office Suite that runs on the cloud so they do not need to be 
installed on your machine?  They do require a working internet connection of 
course.

The advantage of LibreOffice or OpenOffice is the fairly advanced features and 
some conveniences such as being able to set defaults to save as MS formats.

I am amazed that certain parts of LibreOffice apparently can't be un-installed 
without affecting the rest as i am fairly sure i can do that in linux.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Disk is cheap.  Either upgrade your hard drive or install a second hard drive.

No, not that I know of, I am afraid it is all or nothing. Bear in mind
that even if you did just want the word processor and spreadsheet
functionality, you would not be able to use any of the database
functionality that is accessible from these modules, when the Base
module is also installed. If you want just a spreadsheet and just a word
processor, you would be better off looking at other solutions, at least
on the Mac.
