But this install  guide says how you can make it work.

As an improvement on this post below a quick and clean Open Office 3.0 install (tested on Ubuntu 8.04).

Download the ‘Linux DEB’ based tar file from the OpenOffice website. Unpack and change to the ‘DEBS’ directory. Then run:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Then change the file “/usr/bin/ooffice” and replace this line:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice  "$@"

With this one:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice  "$@"

After saving the file changes all your menu links as well as your file extensions point to OO3. And you can easily change back.

.

Regards,

Gerard
