Hi :) Yes there is a strong connection between LibreOffice and OpenOffice. A few years ago they were both 1 and the same but underwent a process similar to "cell division" found in biological systems = where 1 cell buds off into 2 almost identical cells which each then grow in slightly different directions.
If you really need to have both on your system at the same time it might be worth having a look through this wiki-guide https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Regards from Tom :) On 12 May 2014 15:07, James Knott <[email protected]> wrote: > George Roberts wrote: > > Is there any connection between Libre and Open Office? > > > > The reason I ask, I downloaded Open Office, did a spreadsheet, and on > > advice, was told Libre was better, so I downloaded Libre. > > > > Then I did a copy/paste of my spreadsheet from OO to Libre, but the > heading > > still shows as Open Office. > > > > So, thinking it was because it was a copy/paste, I produced a sample > > spreadsheet called dates using Libre, and open office is still shown in > the > > saved title name? > > > > Could it be because I have not uninstalled Open Office yet? > > LibreOffice is a fork from OpenOffice, created when Oracle hadn't > decided what to to with OpenOffice & StarOffice.
