Hi :) The main point was to remove the older version of LibreOffice with
sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* or synaptic or something, before starting the install of the newer version. It is possible to install more than one version at a time but as a general rule it's less confusing to stick with just one at a time unless you are beta-testing or something and need a stable version as well as the one being tested.
