You can use the rpms to install on a Debian system. A procedure (which,
from memory, converts the rpms to deb files) is outlined in the Setup
Guide:

This is true, but the version installed isn't necessarily the latest

default Ubuntu version.
Presumably there is some way to get the latest version using apt-get or
synaptic, but I thought it would be easier just to go straight to the
OpenOffice website.

Ubuntu, right from its Warty beginings had OOo preinstalled, so why
download it? Even if it
is not preinstalled, you can get it using synaptic. What version of
Ubuntu are you using?
For Debian there is an OpenOffice in Debian repository that you can
add to apt-sources, but
its more out of date than the Ubuntu version (2.0.2 is in Dapper)

You can get a backport of version 2.0.3 for Debian sarge by adding
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt-sources, and something like this to /etc/apt/preferences
