Is there any reason not to simply install the openoffice or libreoffice rpms
from their respective websites?  I've been doing that for some years, myself,
and it works well.  Just exclude the openoffice and ooobasis (or libreoffice
and libobasis) rpms in /etc/yum.conf to avoid any conflicts.

It's my understanding that the "official" openoffice rpms from Redhat are
missing some functionality that the program as downloaded directly from
Sun/Oracle or the Document Foundation have.

Frank,

Thanks for the suggestion, I have had difficulty stepping out of the
CentOS rpm barrier in the past so I did not try.  Knowing you have
succeeded gives me some confidence to proceed.  Does OpenOffice have yum
repository or do you recommend downloading the source code. Looks like
their download website is down until the 21st of February.

How do you like libreoffice compared to openoffice?  

Thanks again,

Greg
