You have to use the original OOo distribution.

You may install it into the same directory as the FC OOo
(/usr/lib/ooo-1.1). You have to adjust the file

/usr/bin/ooffice (line 34 my $Version =  replace 1.1.3 by 1.1.4)
and 
~/.sversionrc   (adjust the version to 1.1.4 accordingly)

You can use all the fedory icons, the menu entries, your current
settings, user templates and so on, but you will miss access to the
evolution address book (and probably a second gnome integration feature
I currently don't remember).

If you are using a non-US keyboard openoffice will become usable for
you, because the "gnome integrated openoffice" suffers from some severe
bugs, which never had been fixed  (e.g. soft hyphenation <ctrl>-) and
several font problems, which make the standard document templates to
look quite ugly.
