You're right it is out of scope as Apache OpenOffice has never been in
Fedora, and given the state of the project I doubt it ever will be.

OP for your own sanity and security stop using AOO. The recent 4.1.3
release fixed a single arbitrary code execution bug that they were
notified of in October last year (shortly after the 4.1.2 bugfix
release in August 2015) and it's taken them over  a year to get a
release out for a arbitrary code execution security issue (note this
particular issue was found and fixed in LibreOffice over 2 years ago).

The project is only hanging on through sheer stubbornness of half a
doze individuals and development is at a standstill, with the few
people active on the development mailing lists frequently failing to
even be able to build the source code.

There really is no point or use in using Apache OpenOffice at this
point (and hasn't been for a year now).

Do you have the same problems opening LO in your system?
