You will need to remove the Ubuntu version first. If you have a problem
with the standard OOo version, you can reload (U)OOo. Recommand that you
rename your current ~./openoffice.org2 to something else first, and also
make a backup copy of it *and* any fonts that you may have installed in
~./openoffice.org2/user/fonts *and* /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts.
That way, if you do have to go back to (U)OOo you can restore your
previous user profile and fonts.
