I successfully installed the RH 8 openoffice rpms on RH 7.3. Install the following rh 8 packages:
glibc-common glibc-2.2.93 (take whatever is most current from the redhat 8 updates) libstdc++ compat-libstdc++ (for all the kde apps) fontconfig Xft openoffice-* You may have to upgrade the compilers too (installing compat versions if you want access to gcc 2.96 still). All in all, it was pretty simple. I didn't need to upgrade XFree86 (which was already 4.2, I think). By this point you're almost to redhat 8.0, by the way, and upgrading all the way involves simply installing corresponding rh 8 packages. By the way, I've upgraded distros from 6.2 to 7.3 to 8.0 using this manual method.
