Because of this bug I was forced to use an older version of LibreOffice.
But I would like to have the latest LibreOffice - keeping in this way an eye on a possible future fix to the bug.
And, when I need to avoid this bug, I would like to install in parallel a version of OpenOffice which is not affected by the bug (e.g 3.4)
Is this possible?
There is nothing wrong to have OpenOffice and LibreOffice installed at the same time. Moreover, you can have more than one version of OpenOffice and more than one version of LibreOffice without any conflict.
LibreOffice can be found in the Ubuntu Software Center. If you want the latest version, you can find it at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/.
To install OpenOffice (now known as Apache OpenOffice), open the terminal and run these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice
