Surfing the web I found numerous PPA that could be used, but the easiest method seemed to be below.

  1. Download the debs from the OpenOffice.org site
  2. Tar -xvzf them
  3. cd to the directory containing the debs
  4. sudo dpkg -i o*.deb
  5. sudo dpkg -i desktop_integration/o*.deb

A big thanks to this article at The Open Sourcerer blog
