Install OpenOffice 3.2 in Ubuntu
This post will provide you with the steps to uninstall OpenOffice from your current Ubuntu architecture and install the latest version of OpenOffice 3.2. The first step is to download the Open Office tar.gz from the web site http://download.openoffice.org/ or http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/. The first download location does not provide the .deb framework and may not work for your particular installation. If you are using this tutorial for Ubuntu, as the post title suggests, then the P2P download location is your best shot. If you are just darned lazy, you can download the .torrent here.
Extract the archive by right-clicking the file and clicking “Extract here.” Next, start the installation process with a few Terminal commands below.
sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.* sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483/DEBS/*.deb sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483/DEBS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb
Installation only takes a couple of minutes and is pretty darned simple. Let me know how it goes.
