On 28 September 2010, key members of the OpenOffice.org Project formed a new group called The Document Foundation, and made available a rebranded fork of OpenOffice.org, provisionally named LibreOffice. The Foundation stated that it will coordinate and oversee the development of LibreOffice. Due to the requirement of fully open sourced office suite, it has been dropped from the major Linux distribution and it is replaced by LibreOffice; still you can install manually by downloading it on your computer. Here is the small guide for installing OpenOffice on Fedora 19.
Note:
You must remove LibreOffice, if you have it already installed; otherwise OpenOffice installation will get conflict with LibreOffice.
Open Terminal.
Switch to root user.
[raj@geeksite~/]$ su
Remove LibreOffice suite.
[root@geeksite~/]# yum remove libreoffice-core
