Hi :) The Updates item in the menu is fairly pointless. Updates tend to be minor patches to fix things in software that doesn't have full releases very often. LibreOffice doesn't have minor updates very often as it's easier to just upgrade to a different release. The 3.5.2 is a major release not just a minor patch. Major new releases of LibreOffice happen more often than minor updates happen in most other software.
In non-OpenSource software all the users settings, configurations, templates and so on, tend to get lost during a fresh install. OpenSource tends to keep all those settings and stuff safely away from the main program so that a fresh install just picks up the previous settings. It's sensible to take a back-up just before doing an install just in case something weird happens. The settings and all that are stored in the "User Profile".

In a previous release, LibreOffice 3.5.1.x, the Mac OS X PPC LibreOffice menu item, Help / Check for Updates..., failed to report 3.5.2.x release that hit on 5 Apr 2012. I had to download and install it by hand. Is the menu checker only for major.minor numbers like 3.4.x.x to 3.5.x.x, not bugfix numbers like 3.5.1.x to 3.5.2.x? -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
