Download the Debian based tar.gz file for your language version of openoffice 3 from the openoffice.org site (or torrent or whatever...).
Right click on the downloaded file and choose 'extract here'.
Navigate into the folder it creates and then to the subdirectory "DEBS".
Right click and choose 'Open Terminal here'
type:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get autoremove openoffice.org
sudo apt-get autoremove openoffice.org-core
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Be aware that you remove oo2.4x with this procedure, but oo3 can handle all old files.
Best wishes from Germany
