I don't know how to install an old version using Synaptic and the
standard package-management system, which Mike referred to, but it is
possible to install software directly, as Henri describes.
Yes, I've seen that, thanks (I replied to Regina to this effect, but
that seems to have been delayed). A potential issue is that synaptic has
LO split across a lot of packages, and there seems some risk of
conflicts.... but if no-one has seen my (original) problem I'll have to
go the manual downgrade route.

BTW, Synaptic seems to have its own problems: the 5.1.1 version I had
from the LO PPA was flagged as "broken" (which I see a lot, not just for
LO, and means upgrading will be a problem until I've fiddled with apt
directly). Sometimes synaptic offers a downgrade option - but not for
the LO PPA: I had to disable that PPA, revert to ubuntu's own (4.x),
completely deinstall LO, then reinstall to downgrade. Very messy, but
not an LO issue!
