Portable Application

Portable applications are by far the best gift to the whole world of computer users, and I am deeply grateful for your efforts and existence. I would like to suggest that alongside LibreOffice and ApashOffice, separate applications be created for text, spreadsheets, and presentations, because I believe a large number of people use either one or the other. This would reduce PC RAM usage and speed up work with office applications. Sincere regards,

Not possible according to John T Haller

I can't find the related post, but he said (meaning): LibreOffice (and its parent-ptoject OpenOffice) is a huge app that can't be split into several sub-apps.

Basically One App

With something like Microsoft Office, the apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are mostly separate apps that share common files, so it makes sense to install them individually. LibreOffice/OpenOffice are, essentially, one big app with a bunch of interfaces on top of it. When the installer used to allow you to only install one or two of the 6 apps in the suite, it would only save like 10% of the install size. Now, the local installer for LibreOffice doesn't even let you selectively install the apps anymore since it's not worth it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
