Set it up so that you can run both your distro's OOo and standard OOo.
Edit /opt/openoffice.org3/program/bootstraprc to put your standard OOo
profile in ~/openoffice.org3 rather than ~/openoffice.org (which your
distro will use). Modify this line:
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org/3
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3/3
the file will then look like:
[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
Now set a menu launch item to:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
and you should be good to go. Backup your ~/.openoffice.org/3 and launch
(s)OOo and it will start as a new profile in ~/.openoffice.org3/3. Copy
all of your existing profile (~/.openoffice.org/3) over to
~/.openoffice.org3/3.
