    Nearly all of your menu items is in /usr/share/applications and the 
openoffice.org files are no exception. I have only the 1.9 version and 
my files are openoffice.org-1.9-base.desktop and the rest just replace 
base with writer, calc or whatever
You could delete the appropriate files, but probably you should try to 
add the line NoDisplay=true in the files, which should remove them from 
the menus.  Or you could remove (rm) the .desktop files of course.
