Editing a pure .csv file not request either of the Apache OpenOffice nor the LibreOffice Edit it by the simpliest notepad. Just copy/paste the new content, and save it as .csv file.
...In the other way you need import a .csv file into the Open/LibreOffice Calc, then you will able edit it cell-by-cell, and finally you must save (export) it as .csv file.
But it is better to store your important documents in the native, international standard ODF file types.

Re: Adding data to existing CSV document
Always save all your spreadsheet files as .ods files and never as .csv files. If you need a .csv file for some reason then save a copy of your .ods file as a .csv file.
See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files where .csv files are similar to .txt or .rtf files.
Is it a size problem? How many rows do you have in your .csv file?
