Is it possible to install OOo alongside LO on F17?
As a matter of curiosity, why would anyone want to have both OO and LO
installed simultaneously? Aren't they mostly feature-equivalent and/or
compatible?
Unless you are into research about feature-for-feature comparison between LO
and OO, what's the point of having them both on the same machine?
Best, :-)

Mostly, to be on safe side. I prefer to use software provided by
distro as much as possible, but sometimes, OOo does better job
converting MS office documents, so I prefer it as a backup option.
Well, I just converted to LibreOffice when I finally upgraded to F17
from F14. And I notice two improvements right away. I run two WordPress
sites and have signed on as a consulting admin on a third. And when I
used to use the "Paste from MS Word" option in the WordPress Visual
Editor, OpenOffice would always paste in some extraneous
paragraph-formatting code. And I could never turn it off.
LibreOffice does /not/ give me that problem. When I paste LibreOffice
text into WordPress, I get no extraneous code, nothing I have to go to
the HTML window to clean out. I get all my headings, attributes, and
links just the way I laid them out.
Second improvement: clearing formatting shouldn't clear links.
OpenOffice would always clear the links when I cleared the formatting.
LibreOffice does not.
And it has all the functions I knew and loved with OpenOffice. Thus far
I've had no cause to regret the switch.
