[CentOS] Trying to get up and running with Open Office beta

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?
