I'm running SuSe 9.2 pro on my box and have the SuSe build of OpenOffice 1.1.3 installed. Now I've noticed that OpenOffice has released version 1.1.4, which I would like to upgrade to. Unfortunately I can't find a SuSe build anywhere. Does that mean that I can't upgrade and that I have to install 1.1.4 sparately, hence losing all my settings??????

uninstall oo and tnen download the new version on oo's official site(www.openoffice.org). thay provide install package(not rpm package), following the instruct and install.(before install u'd better have j2re on u computer, it could make u oo more faster).
You won't lose kde integration but you will lose the SUSE integration. SUSE tweaks the version of OO that it ships so it has different icons and a slightly different look. And the links to all the OO programs in the kde menu will still be linked to the old version after you install 1.1.4.
thanks guys. I have toyed around a bit and ended up with a parallel installation of 1.1.3 and 1.1.4. I must admit, I like SuSe's tweaked version better than the 1.1.4 available on OOO's website, so I'll stick with it until SuSe comes up with a new version.
