What happened to Open Office with Fedora 16? Why doesnot Fedora 16let the user choose between OOO and LibreOoo? I dont see the more interesting features of Libre...
BY THE WAY, if it is not visible in the menus, thereis in RPMS a dir desktop-integration in which there is a rpm that updates the Applications menu
I think the change of name is what confused you. From now on, try to use
yum groupinstall "Office/Productivity"
This will install the default Office packages for the current version of Fedora. It installs OpenOffice on previous Fedora versions, Libre on latest Fedora versions and it should work even if Fedora moves from Libre to something else in future.
OpenOffice is no longer available in Fedora.
LibreOffice is its replacement. It is the fork from OpenOffice that is controlled by an open source foundation instead of by Oracle (previously Sun).

Libreoffice is fork of Openoffice.org + additional features. There is no reason to have both. There is no desktop-integration RPM needed for the package in the main repository
