How can I download only Open Office Calc?

Rahul Singh Rathaure asks:

I want to download only Calc of Open Office not the full bundle of Open Office. How to download it?

I use Abiword as Microsoft Word Alternative, so I want to use Calc as a Excel alternative. If there is any good free alternative of Excel then please share.

Thanks!

You can’t /download/ only Calc, but if you download the full bundle you can opt to only /install/ Calc. Just pay attention during the installation process.

And, if you like Abiword, you should check out Gnumeric. Gnumeric is to Excel what Abiword is to Word.

A little more bare bones, but there’s also spread32 http://www.byedesign.co.uk/
I use this along with qjot (word processor) as my defaults for .xls and .doc files. If I need more power, then I break out OOo.

You can download Calc (only) from a third party website like Softpedia.

rrahl,

I’d be glad to be proven wrong, but I’m not sure there is a solution here other than what you’ve gotten. The Open Office Suite is all based on the same core, so it wouldn’t make that much sense to release any one program in it by itself. Sure, you’d save a little bit of download and hard drive space, but by no means 3/4 of what you’d save by just downloading and installing all of OO.o; more like 1/4 or so.

Is there some reason you con’t want to download the entire suite and then only install Calc? (Bandwidth, maybe?)
