METHOD 2
The above installs don't support upgrades as they were not installed through a repository. Now the OpenOffice Scribblers PPA was finally updated and it now has the latest OpenOffice 3.2 packages for Ubuntu 10.04.

First we need to add the OpenOffice scribblers PPA to the reprository.

For that open up terminal and issue this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openoffice-pkgs/ppa
Now update the repo:

sudo apt-get update

Now install the latest OpenOffice by:
if you already have a version installed then issue this command

sudo apt-get upgrade

or
if you arre doing a fresh install of openoffice then issue this command.

sudo apt-get install openoffice

This will update your sources and install/upgrade your OpenOffice to the latest 3.2 version.
