OpenOffice.org (OO.o or OOo), commonly known as OpenOffice, is an open source software application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. OpenOffice.org 3 is the result of over twenty years’ software engineering. Started as a single piece of software, it has a constantly evolved. A completely open development process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the software. As a result, OpenOffice does everything you want, the way you want it to. And all this for Free.
Download OpenOffice.org 3.2:
.deb (32 bit ) - here
.deb (64 bit) - here

How to Install OpenOffice.org 3.2 in Ubuntu :-
You have to remove the older version of openOffice.org. For that , head to System>Administration>Synaptic-package-manager and remove OpenOffice.
Now, get the downloaded file to the desktop for ease while installing.
Note: Replace celldweller with your username
After that extract the tar.gz file using
cd /home/celldweller/Desktop
and then,
tar xvzf OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
Secondly, we need to access the directory that contains all deb packages. For that, type in
cd /home/celldweller/Desktop/OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-GB.9483/DEBS
Now, install openoffice using this command
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
After the installation, get OpenOffice to desktop panel options for fast access. Type in this :
cd /home/celldweller/Desktop/OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-GB.9483/DEBS/desktop-integration
and type
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb
and we are done with the job.
Go to Application > Office and enjoy.

I cannot uninstall the current OOo 3.1. from the fully updated Ubuntu 9.10. I cannot do it from Synaptic. Donno what’s the problem. I tried to install the 3.2, but didn’t succeed and even uninstalled (from Synaptic), the 3.1 starts again. Help?

Make sure that you have root priviledges to do that.Would you mind explaining a bit more. For the time being , try this “sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*” in the termial and type in your password & it should be removed. After the removal, follow installation procedure
