In fact, all you really have to do is to download the openoffice.org binaries
from the Oracle website and install them on your computer.  They offer both
i386 and x86_64 versions and they are already packed as rpms that will install
directly on Fedora (and Centos).

Remove the Fedora openoffice.org rpms from your Fedora installation before
installing the Oracle rpms.

Add the following line to /etc/yum.conf to avoid any conflicts:

exclude=openoffice* ooobasis*
