If you already have Open Office installed by using Red Hat's RPM (Red Hat Package Manager), then you can either uninstall the existing package(s) or you can use the -U rpm option to upgrade the software.
Being one to reuse both software and forum comments, I found these suggestions online at computing.net:
Enter this at a command prompt to uninstall openoffice:
# rpm -e openoffice
To install the new version:
# rpm -i openoffice-1.1.i386.rpm
(or whatever the filename is)
There may be other rpm files that need to be updated, such as "openoffice-libs" and "openoffice-i18n".
Instead of uninstalling, then installing, you may want to use the upgrade option of RPM, such as:
# rpm -Uvh openoffice-1.1.i386.rpm
(again, use the correct filename)
It may be easier to use a GUItool to install/uninstall/upgrade, such as "gnorpm" (enter that at a terminal in the GUI).
