Fedora repos don't have 3.0 yet, so you need to download a prebuilt copy
from openoffice.org
Here are commands if you want

$ wget
http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?&product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxintelwjre&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0
$ tar xzf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
$ cd OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358
$ su
# ./setup

This will install OO3 (leaving 2.4 installed as well). To uninstall 2.4,
run the following BEFORE running "./setup":
# yum uninstall *openoffice*
