Previous versions of OpenOffice.org (OOo) required that you took special
steps to install in parallel
(<A HREF="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel">http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel</A>).
OOo version 3.0 does not require this, you only need to install the .deb
files - _do not_ uninstall your existing (U)OOo. Here are detailed
instructions on how to install the standard OOo 3.0:
