JJJ, I've not heard that (different format) can you cite please where
the information came from? Also, if nothing else you can point to where
the files are and configuration is via (both of which I doubt you will
have a need to do):
1. Tools|Options|OOo...|Paths.
2. Modify the bootstraprc file to point to your existing config:
$ cat bootstraprc
[Bootstrap]
BaseInstallation=${OOO_BASE_DIR}
InstallMode=<installmode>
ProductKey=OpenOffice.org 3.2
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3/3
[ErrorReport]
ErrorReportPort=80
ErrorReportServer=report.services.openoffice.org
Change 'UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org/3' to whatever
you want OOo to use.
