Filipe: I did not uninstall OO 2.3 before I installed 3.1. Was hoping
the 3.1 installation would see that 2.3 was installed and uninstall
it, but no joy on that.  My error....   So, on GNOME, if I go to
Applications>Office>Word Processor, naturally it brings up OO 2.3.
Please give me the rpm or yum command that will uninstall OO 2.3, and
leave OO 3.1 in place. I will hunt around in /opt and try to find the
Desktop icon, so I can launch OO 3.1, but if possible, I would like to
have it in the GNOME menu. I think in your 2nd message, you gave me
the command to do that, but I need to uninstall OO 2.3 first.

Usually, I don't need or want to be on the "bleeding edge", and I wait
for new packages to come with the distro updates, but I'm receiving a
lot of .docx files these days. Thanks a million!  Lanny
