This could be too late, but this week's Debian weekly news announced
that OpenOffice has been backported to woody, although the packages are
in a private repository and not extensively tested.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-news/debian-news-2003/msg00007.html :

    OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 for Woody. Adrian Bunk [18]announced that he
    has backported OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 to woody (stable) using a
    backported GCC 3.2.1. However, he warns that the [19]packages are
    only lightly tested and he would welcome any comments. Version 1.0.2
    is officially available for i386, powerpc and s390 in Debian
    unstable.
