Hey Rony,
OpenOffice 3.1.0 is available for Ubuntu 8.04 in the Personal Package Archives (PPA) courtesy "OpenOffice.org Scribblers". Follow this guide:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8...
Its actually for Ubuntu 8.10, so replace deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main with deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
BTW, ignore the comments on that page stating that the method does not work for hardy. The PPA page (https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppahttps://launchpad.net/%7Eopenoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa) clearly states that there are packages available for hardy. Probably the added those packages later on.
I don't have Hardy installed, so couldn't test. Do report back whether this works.
I testify, OO.o 310 works fine on my Hardy. Actually, there was just one problem... I had to manually remove the duplicate entries from the Office Menu in Application Launcher.
Did you use the above method? If not, could you tell me the procedure you used? Thanks in advance.
