Finally there is a need for me to actually install the latest version of OpenOffice.org. To do it first install the ppa by adding the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main And then you need to get the key for that ppa by running the command: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xd2bb86e0ebd0f0a43d4db3a760d11217247d1cff After that a quick update to update the list of packages: sudo apt-get update And then I actually had to remove my old OpenOffice manually because it refused to upgrade it when I ran: sudo apt-get upgrade So to remove the old OpenOffice I did: sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org And only after that I installed it again: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org Now it's ready to be tried out. Hope it all works. p/s: Yeah. I'm still on Hardy. You should change that for you ppa if you are
