Is it necessary, safe and wise to install the LibreOffice "candidate" Suite yet, Tracyanne? I ask because, in the past, I have installed "candidates" only to find their functionality limited and their performance disappointing.

Installation code:
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice


Is it possible to keep OO.o by simply omitting the line

sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*

and, if so will they run happily alongside each other without conflicts?
