LibreOffice is rather a fork of OpenOffice than based on it. I would
suggest dropping the OpenOffice.org reference complety and do something
more like...

"""
Ubuntu ships with LibreOffice; a free office suite feature-packed with everything you require to produce impressive and high quality documents, spreadsheets and presentations. LibreOffice provides interoperability with many other popular office suites and fully supports the opendocument format standards.
"""

That still needs work but I also think it's a good idea to drop the
Microsoft reference, you'll have to add trademark notes for both
Microsoft and Word and that will just be a bit icky in the slideshow
imho.

  Slideshow for OpenOffice states OOo is "fully compatible" with

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  The slide for OpenOffice in Ubiquity (viewing now on the Netbook ISO
  Wubi install) says:

  OpenOffice.org is fully compatible with Microsoft Office" and that is
  not true.

  It is "mostly" compatible... or somewhat compatible, but not fully
  compatible due to Microsoft's heavy use of VBscript and such in Office
  tools like Access and Excel.

  Also, MS Word docs do not always render properly in OO and vice versa
  due to some variance in how the configurations for each document type
  is handled.

  This is a very common complaint about using OpenOffice and saying that
  it is "fully compatible" is not accurate.
