Hi :) There is no harm in having both LibreOffice and OpenOffice installed alongside each other. Mostly i tend to find they are so much the same that either will do, although i have a slight preference for LibreOffice.
I found these guides to be the best help with LibreOffice; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications Chapter 3 of the "Getting Started Guide" helps a lot with styles and formatting but a long-term user of OpenOffice might not find anything hugely new or different. I tend to find most documents written with MS Office a pita tbh. I tend to just copy&paste as "unformatted text" into a new document and then apply my own formatting. Back when i used to use MS Office too it would take hours, even days, to reformat even a 1-2 page document to fit into the newsletter. Using "paste as plain text" (or as unformatted text) helped quite a lot but LibreOffice/OpenOffice's "Styles" made such work take just a few minutes. I'm not sure what i'd do if the document was many pages long or highly complex though.
