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.
