size of openoffice
I’ve been using openoffice for years. I recently got a laptop that has limited disc space. Openoffice uses 335mb is theref a way to significantly reduce that
space requirement?

I recently purchased a 1TB replacement hard disk for an older laptop for
£55.00. Unless you have budgetary constraints this might be an option?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Definitely _NOT_ recommended, but if you can live without
some of the program modules (eg. Base, Impress, Draw, etc.) you can do a
"custom" install/repair to exclude the modules you do not require/use.
The downside to this is that the disk space saving is trivial and some
functionality in the modules you do require may be lost.
If the disk space on your laptop is so critically limited you might
consider installing the portable editions on a USB memory stick/card.
Two well known resources for this are:
Portable Apps: http://portableapps.com/
AOO: http://portableapps.com/node/39323
Win Pen Pack: http://www.winpenpack.com/
AOO: http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1341
The trade-off with the portable editions is they run more slowly than a
normal hdd installation.
Hope this helps.
Dave
