Upgrade Open Office to 2.3?

[Dotan Cohen]

How can one upgrade Open Office to the new 2.3 version? It has two
features that I need very much for a current project.

I tried downloading the debs for the openoffice.org site, but they
conflict with the current OOo installation instead of replacing it:

I do not want to remove the current OOo before installing the new one
as I've had problems that left me without Open Office in the past with
that route. Thanks in advance.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
