Are you using Windows? If so, I am certain there is a way, but I 
sidestep the issue by keeping an empty writer document on my desk top. I 
start that and click the "new document" at the upper left. I do have to 
choose where to save if different from the default. I thought this 
easier than fighting the run box as suggested elsewhere.

You can prefer to create a shortcut, giving the "item" the short cut 
wizard requests as a path to swriter.exe. On my 64 bit W7 machine it is
C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 3\program\swriter.exe
YMMV.

The answers given by others to your remaining questions are better than 
what I can come up with.
