I was using the beta version of Open Office on Windows for... I don't know how long, but many months now. I quite like it and would like to replace the current stable 1.1 build of OpenOffice that came with CentOS with the beta.
So i downloaded the RPMs from the OpenOffice site and dutifully followed their installation instructions, and it went well. I think. I mean, there were no errors and it did a whole bunch of unpacking and stuff. But any office document I try to open still opens with the previous OpenOffice, I can't find any icons for the OpenOffice Beta in any of my menus, and any documents I had created with OpenOffice Beta in Windows aren't recognized by CentOS.
In short, I think it's installed, but I don't know how to start it.
How do I do that, and how do I remove the "old" Open Office?
