[SOLVED] OpenOffice 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 on Ubuntu (plus migrate templates and dictionaries)



I had several installations of OpenOffice running side-by-side (not
that I wanted it that way -- it just kinda happened [1]); plus various
historical directories where user settings are stored (dating back to
3 computers ago and OpenOffice 1.1. Today I cleaned up and wrote a
blog post about it.  The article describes how I cleaned it up and
moved from OpenOffice 3.0.0 provided by the http://openoffice.org
website to the packaged version provided by the Ubuntu PPA.

If you don't have OpenOffice 3 yet and want to add it to your Ubuntu
system, then see this one minute video by LinuxJournal

[1]  Part of the problem was that when Ubuntu 8.10 was released,
OpenOffice 3 was not included.  So, most people who wanted it (like
me) ended up downloading binaries (or source) from the openoffice.org
website.
