I'm a bit confused by your response.
Of course if I enable the Ubuntu ppa repository then I will get updates 
(relatively small downloads) to LO rather than having to download and 
install the whole new package (148 MB).
Unfortunately the version of LO (as with OO) provided from the Ubuntu 
ppa does NOT allow the use of the Thunderbird address book as an address 
data source - it ONLY integrates with Evolution, hence the reason I use 
the directly-downloaded package from the LO web site and NOT the Ubuntu 
repository.
I'm trying to ascertain whether there's a method of updating from 3.3.0 
to 3.3.1 direct from the LO website, rather than having to download the 
entire new package?
