I have the legacy Version 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:101)) om my main box, running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the Cinnamon environment and, not surprisingly, entering »soffice« from the command line lauches that version of LO. I installed version 4.0.0.3 a couple of days ago, and if I instead perform »/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/soffice« it is that version which will launch. What I should like to do is to entirely replace the former with the latter (with which, so far, I am very happy), so that when I run »soffice« in a terminal or click my LO icons in Cinnamon, it is LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 which launches instead of 3.6.0.1. Any suggestions - with all the gory details - as to how to best go about this ?...
