I do a lot of word processing, and the latest OOo version fixes a lot of bugs (warty is two versions behind this).  I am thinking of installing to /opt/openoffice via the OOo install script, but should I remove the installed OOo first?

Someone suggested a package called equivs for fixing apt if I do this.
