OO 3.0, Check for Updates

Open Office should be updated through a package manager, not through the program itself.

My guess is that you installed Openoffice.org 3.0 from the openoffice
website and not from an ubuntu repo, is that correct? Which version of
ubuntu are you running?

8.04. And i got OO from http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-openoffice-3.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.04.

Thanks.

Try installing from here:

They provide some updates on a fairly regular basis.

Hi Micah

Thanks for the hint. But if I get the Updates via Update Manager, I'm happy.

That's the only place I know of that will give you the updates through
update manager.
