New OpenOffice.org is sweet!
Seeing in my rss feed that OpenOffice.org had released version 2.3.0 this morning I hurried to get it. Downloading from the OO.o website led me to the version that I was already using, so I followed the link in my distrowatch feed to the new download. Once I'd got it and untarred the file I saw the familiar fold of rpms which I was able to install using Clive-H's familiar incantation. And then I found a problem.
Whenever I clicked my menu item for OpenOffice I got the 2.2 version.So how to change it? I couldn't access the menu editor because the panels were locked, so the obvious answer was to unlock the panels and then to click on the link to the menu editor. Again find my link to OpenOffice writer and just change its link from '2.2' to '2.3', save everything and then it all worked okay again, and i was able to load OpenOffice.org 2.3.0. I then had to accept the terms as usual before writer came up with its familiar screen, and I was in business and ready to play.
