Before removing the already installed version the custom icons have to be backed up, because a new installation will overwrite them with low resolution icons that don't scale well.
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/openofficeorg* $HOMEProceed and uninstall the old version.
sudo yum remove openoffice\*The new version can then be downloaded from an official mirror. The download path below will get the english version. If you'd like another language edit the lang variable, en-US in this case. An overview of all supported languages is available here.
wget "http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org\
&os=linuxintel&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0"Extract the file and install the RPMs, it takes a while.
tar -zvxf OOo*
sudo rpm -i OOO*/RPMS/o*
sudo rpm -i OOO*/RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.0-redhat*The path to the desktop icons need to be changed and the original icons restored.
sudo cp -f /opt/openoffice.org3/share/xdg/calc.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-calc.desktop
sudo cp -f /opt/openoffice.org3/share/xdg/impress.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-impress.desktop
sudo cp -f /opt/openoffice.org3/share/xdg/writer.desktop \
/usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-writer.desktop
sudo sed 's/org3-/org-/;s/%U//' -i /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org*
sudo mv $HOME/openofficeorg* /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolorFinally the desktop must be made aware of the changes, which is solved via a simple reboot.
