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

Regards from
Tom :)

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.  So, there is a lot of
similarity between them.  However, what are you referring to by
"heading"?  If it's something you put in the document, it will always
show, no matter what app you use.

You can have both OpenOffice and LibreOffice on the same computer, but
only one can be the default app for the various file formats.
