How's LibreOffice compare to OpenOffice? Last time I tried the latter, it would create weird formatting in documents when opened in MS Word.

LibreOffice is the one you want to use. OpenOffice is so undermaintained that they have problems patching security holes, nevermind improving

I have very little experience with OpenOffice. If I remember correctly, OO was bought by Oracle after which the community forked LibreOffice, and that is now installed by default in many GNU/Linux distributions. I think I haven't used OO in at least five years, so I can't really say anything about it.

Generally, it seems that after the whole Oracle fiasco and the Apache part, LibreOffice is miles ahead.

When it comes to formatting in Word though, it should be worth noting that MS Word supports ODT files by now.
