I read somewhere on the internet that both LibreOffice and OpenOffice have serious security vulnerabilities.
Are there alternatives to these two?

I did read the documentation, try to understand it and then post questions here when I don't understand what's in there.

You should never use yourself as the yardstick by which to measure other people's standards. In a free and democratic society in which people are democratic, allowances must and always will be made for differences in people's learning abilities and skillsets.
You may have an obvious advantage over me if you have taken up courses in IT, computer science or programming at school or college.

I don't know and the FAQs and documentation do not explicity define what's essential.

I didn't know that....honestly. It seems that I have to re-learn some of the things when using OpenBSD.

Frankly speaking I don't wish to spend too much time
playing with the system. I have plenty of non-IT non-computer stuff to finish up.
