Thanks for the info on 1.92 and what that is.  I have been curious 
from time to time.

I looked at the idea of using an RPM and checkinstall but I have 
decided just to use the tarball.  It is much easier and I am familiar 
with that.  Oh well.

It was easy to rpm -e openoffice.org* and install the tar.gz.

I like the OOo icons better. :)
