For those who may be interested, this worked for me:
1) download and unzip Linux binary tarball http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html 1a) tar zxvf OOo_1.9.m77_native_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz 1b) type 'su' and give root password 2) convert rpms to deb with "alien -k -c *.rpm" 3) choose which menu rpm you wish to install and remove the other for me this meant installing suse-menus and removing the redhat rpm. 3) install debs: dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb 4) chmod a+rx /opt/openoffice.org1.9.74/program/soffice 5) edit /usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9, changing /etc/openoffice.org-1.9/ to /opt/openoffice.org1.9.74. (Do this for /usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9-printeradmin as well).
Cheers.
