Hi :)
I think the same instructions still work although there is a wiki-page on how
to install versions alongside each other. It's not straight-forwards not it's
not hugely tough either. Personally i would recommend uninstalling and
reinstalling just because it's easy and free. It's only if you are likely to
have sudden dead-lines and need a more familiar version to fall back on.
Regards from
Tom :)

Within a bug report I have been asked to install & try LO 3.4.5, which
I have already downloaded (+ GB-lang & help packs).
Has the install procedure changed since the following details kindly
provided for installing 3.3?:
"Installation instructions for Mandriva are:
===
Install process:
Intallation (based on a KDE desktop Mandriva 2010.1)
===
BEFORE STARTING, UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF LIBREOFFICE
WITH THROUGH THE MCC AND THEN QUIT THE MCC
1. Download LibreOffice from http://www.documentfoundation.org to
your "downloads" folder into a folder called "LibreOffice"
2. Open Dolphin
3. Browse to the "LibreOffice" folder in the "downloads" folder
4. Right-click on the LibreOffice file and choose extract archive
here
5. Once extracted double-click on folder "en-Us" and then "RPMS"
and then "desktop-integration"
6. In Dolphin do F3 (this will split screen your window)
7. Click in the right window once and click on the "UP" arrow in
the main menu bar up-above in Dolphin
8. You will now have the left window "desktop-integration" and
right "RPMS" windows open
9. In the left window drag the
libreoffice3.3-mandriva-menus-3.3-.noarch.rpm
file to the RPMS window and choose "Copy" **
10. In Dolphin do F3 and use the "UP" arrow till you are back at
the level where you see the "licenses", "readme", "RPMS"
folders
11. Right-click on folder RPMS and choose Action-Open Konsole
12. Konsole will now open with a $
13. In Konsole do $su (this is super user mode)
14. Type in your root password
15. In Konsole do #rpm -Uvih *rpm
16. Wait till all the packages have installed"
