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. RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-*.rpm 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
