What USE flags are set for Openoffice? Does openoffice-bin have the same problem? Since you can't have both of them installed, use quickpkg to make a binary package of your openoffice installation before unmerging it. Then try out openoffice-bin. When you want your old version back, use emerge -k openoffice to install from the binary package.
