there is little reason to be running OOo 2.x any longer
Except that OOo 3.x is not packaged by RHEL/CentOS/rpmforge/... and that downloading and installing from openoffice.org installs version 3.1.0 which positions all your tables from a MS Word documents 16cm out of the visable page.

Which is a showstopper in real life, where doc and docx files are still "normal" for most of the people.
Unless you install the mongolian version, which is still at 3.0 and which does not have the bug. Or wait for 3.1.1 which would solve this, but then having a packaged version which can easily be upgraded using yum would still be handy.
I use OOo 3.1 x86_64 and at the office use M$ word doc files - we use tables and I have no issues with opening these in OO0 3.1. YMMV
