There is a Vector tool to convert rpms for OpenOffice.  Have a look at this
post:
http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1678.msg9958#msg9958

The next post in the thread mentions an unrpm tool devised by a member of
oooforum.

As is mentioned in that thread, there is a vectorised OpenOffice 2.1 but you
may have to update your OS to get access to the repository - I don't know
how that works in Vector.  (I've installed 5.8 but prefer to continue with
my other OS.)

BTW, wouldn't the Vector forum be the best place to ask about this?

Good luck.
