Yum install method will install libreoffice as its a drop in
replacement for openoffice. If you want apache openoffice you'll have
to download and install it from http://www.openoffice.org/download/

Follow this guide :

Thank you The_Ace,
Can i use Libreoffice and openoffice both? if I install openoffice without installing libreoffice, should it be a problem?

You cannot use both. It'll have to be one or the other. Installing
openoffice without libreoffice is just fine.

There is no point in installing OpenOffice.
The BIT syllabus may designed before LibreOffice start in 2010.

As of LibreOffice 3.4 there was a support for installing both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org in the same system.
