Can somebody explain to me how to get the latest version onto my ACER 4810T,
please?
If you want the version produced by Sun, then download it from
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html
If you want the version produced by Novell, then upgrade to Ubuntu
09.10, and install the version of OOo in the Ubuntu repository.
My guess is that the Novell build is closer to what you want.

Before I moved to 9.10, I had the same trouble. I asked the
same question since I could not get things to work. I was
answered with the following URL.

This page will tell you how to get the latest version of
OOo from Launchpad easier that it was for me to get it
working from OOo's download site. As it was, I upgraded
to 9.10 a few weeks after, when it went beyond the RC.
I would upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 first. Then if not satisfied
with that version/flavor, then look into the Launchpad site.
To be honest, I have not used the latest version much with
MS 2007 files, so I do not know if it really is better than
the last 3.x.x version. All I know is MS Office 2003 with
the compatibility system MS puts out does a bad job on their
own files many times. If MS cannot do it right with their own
formats, then what hope does OOo have over the long run. Still
it works and it is cheaper than MS. Now that MS 2010 is in
beta release trials, I wonder what things they have changed
to mess with people's compatibility issues AGAIN.
