Does 5.4 come with an updated openoffice. 5.3 comes with version 2.3 was wondering if 5.4 will have 3.1

Nope. 5.4 won't have openoffice 3.1

That's not a big surprise, just keeping within the stated policies of CentOS.

However, I will point out that for those who want OOO 3.1, all they have to do is skip installing the old version that comes with CentOS, and install the RPMs that can be downloaded straight from openoffice.org. The ones for RHEL 5 work very well, and integrate with the Gnome desktop automagically.
