As per Ubuntu's policy, there won't be an official update to a package's 
*version* in each release, so the only ways to update would be

1) to download and install the latest OpenOffice version directly from Openoffice, 
2) using a ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~bugbear5
3) upgrade to karmic, 

Probably 1) is safest, 2) is easiest
