Thanks to Drew and NoOp for responding.
Using NoOp's instructions I installed OOo_3 from
OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz.
As predicted, now there's stuff in /opt/openoffice.org3/ and in
/home/xxx/.openoffice.org/3/user (where I apparently find my OOo_2.2
macros and templates).
I create the launcher entry as instructed in the installer webpage, then
close the menu editor.
When I click on the OOo_3.0 menu entry I get a "registration wizard". I
fill out the dialogs and when I click 'Finish' the wizard closes and a
splash form appears for two seconds, then disappears. Nothing else happens.
What am I doing wrong?
(By the way: OOo_2.2 still works as it did before).
Any suggestions?
