I strongly recommend not to that: The support and development of OO was
stopped a while ago. This office suite is not secure anymore.

Mistral AI states relatively carefully:

Is Open Office as secure as Libre Office?

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are open-source office suites
that prioritize security, but there are some differences in their
development models and update frequencies that can impact their security.

LibreOffice is generally considered to have a more active development
community and more frequent updates. This can be an advantage in terms
of security because updates often include patches for newly discovered
vulnerabilities. The Document Foundation, which oversees LibreOffice,
also has a dedicated security team that handles security issues.

Apache OpenOffice, on the other hand, has a smaller development
community and less frequent updates. This can sometimes result in slower
responses to security vulnerabilities. However, the Apache Software
Foundation, which oversees OpenOffice, also takes security seriously and
has processes in place to handle security issues.

In terms of features and functionality, both suites are quite similar,
as they both originated from the same codebase (OpenOffice.org). The
choice between the two often comes down to personal preference, specific
feature needs, or the importance of frequent updates.

In conclusion, while both suites are secure, LibreOffice's more active
development and frequent updates might give it a slight edge in terms of
security. However, both are viable options for users seeking a secure,
open-source office suite.
