I guess that is a distinction of which I was not aware. Are you saying
that Ubuntu is shipping a slightly different version from that which
is available directly from OOo? That I should download the latest
version directly from OOo and install it over the Ubuntu version?
I am definitely not inclined to use RCs or betas.
Just out of curiosity, is there a detectable rationale for Ubuntu's
provision of a buggier version of OOo than Open Office itself ships?

First, the version that comes with Ubuntu is a modified version from
Novell/Go-oo. There are problems and benefits of using the distro
version. The current OOo version is 3.2.1 and has been out of beta from
some time now, 3.3.0 is in RC8, so you do not have to worry about using
beta software.
