In lieu of any US version, I am using the GB version of 680m242 Build

import my Options/Preferences from my other OOo versions which will
stick? It's a pain to re-set Options whenever testing out new versions.
There should be a folder "OpenOffice.org2" or somewhat like that
(depends on your version) in your user's ~/Library/Application
Support/" folder. This one holds somewhere a folder "user" - and in
this folder all your templates, user options and more of this stuff is
stored.
This folder exists in many ways - OpenOffice.org-aqa for example for
NOT to user and then perhaps damage your working preferences.
Knowing this, the rest is quite simple: Copy (NOT move!) the "user"
folder which holds your options and replace the user folder of your
test version, which may be inside "openOffice.org...whatsoever" folder
or even perhaps in a .../2/ subfolder. (Re)start your test version and
everything should be there.
This works only if your test version once was started so the user
folder initially was created.
To find out the path of the users folder you actually use: Take a look
in Extras - Options - OpenOffice.org - Paths. The default path for
mostly all option (i. e. templates) directs to the user folder used
for this version.
Best would be you make a safety copy of your intact production user
folder at first. You know - Mr. Murphy never sleeps.
There is a bug in v2.4 - see bug report
<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84232> that puts the
user data in the application folder rather than /Library.
It has a workaround to point 2.4 back to the folders in /Library.
I think the en_US version on Good Day is listed as 'install.dmg' instead
of the expected 'install_en_US.dmg'
