Openoffice update.

[Derick Centeno]

Greetings Andres:
Usually the yum repositories have information matching the applications 
(such as Open Office) which matches that version of YDL which was 
officially released.  If you want something more current than the 
official release (or otherwise available from using yum update or yum 
check-update) you would have to go to openoffice.org  (the actual 
website) and download whatever is current directly from them.

This could mean building up openoffice directly from source yourself.  
The specific directions are available from with the source, and should 
also be at their site.  Further questions regarding how to proceed in 
compiling it should be directed to their community -- it is quite 
active.  They also have a community in every language imaginable 
discussing details about open office.  The open document format is a new 
standard which the newer versions of open office support and understand.

I've built openoffice from source at least once; it is huge.  Hopefully 
you have DSL or faster, and have good attention to detail.

Good Luck....
