A shortcut to open just the Writer section
How can I create a desktop shortcut just for opening the Writer section of Open Office? Do I have to view all of the sub-programs before I can open Writer?

For default installation try:
Go to desktop; right click - select New, Shortcut, then enter one of
the below into the space provided . . .
"C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 4\program\sdraw.exe"
"C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 4\program\swriter.exe"
"C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 4\program\scalc.exe"

On my systems (XP ; Win 7) there is one icon for Open Office. Earlier,
I tried to give an easy way for XP that provides icons for OO Writer,
Calc and Draw
Win 7 - click on Start in lower left corner, select All Programs, right
click on the individual program, select create icon. This will appear
on the desk top. It can be moved to a tool bar from there.

Do it ONCE the long way. In Win 7 or 8 right-click on its icon in the
taskbar and choose Pin this program to the taskbar. Close the program
and the icon will remain there. If you don't like exactly where it's
sitting, click and drag it left or right. If you don't want to leave it
pinned, right-click on the icon and choose Properties. In the
properties window look for Target; its contents will be highlighted in
blue. Press Ctrl+C to copy those contents. Close the properties
window. Right-click on the desktop , choose New > Shortcut; Paste in
the contents copied from the Target. (Mine looks like "C:\Program Files
(x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\swriter.exe" -- yours will probably be
somewhat different .) This creates a new icon on the desktop.
If you're using a different version of Windows you may have to adapt
some of these steps to your situation. Hope this helps.

To start it from the command line, you could use oowriter. Just create
an icon with that command. You could also create a shortcut to that
file. I don't have that location in Windows handy, as I run Linux.

Invoke swriter.exe in your shortcut, perhaps with the addition of the correct path.

The Quickstarter has the direct opening to the "writer".
Find it in the program of AOO folder and put it in the startup folder.
It's supposed to do that automatically at install, but often doesn't.
If it's not in the taskbar, you have to manually put it there.
By the way the file is called "Text Document" for Writer.
Take Care,
