In the [main] section append a line like

  exclude=libreoffice*

OK, I followed everyone's tips and was able to replace the Fedora 
repository-installed LibreOffice 4.3 with 4.4 installed from the RPMs 
downloaded from the LibreOffice site!! 

Sorry I've never tinkered with YUM configuration before, how to I 
modify it to ignore LibreOffice updates? 

Another strange thing is that when (and only when) I enable "Use 
OpenGL for all rendering" in options, (1) all vertical scroll bars 
become upside down (i.e. the bar moves up from the bottom when I 
scroll down), (2) all checks in checkboxes are upside down, and (3) 
when I resize a window the expanded area is all dark! Has this 
happened to anyone else?? 

Thanks for your replies!

Side note... You probably need to modify one of your yum configuration files 
to tell yum to ignore LO updates.

Hi :) 
I think you can usually just install over the top to wipe the previous 
version. 

However on an extremely rare occasion that might not work in which 
case you might need to remove/uninstall everything and then reinstall 
the newer version.  however when you do so you can keep the User 
Profile so that all your settings, configs, galleries, 
Extensions/add-ons/plugins, templates and all the rest remain intact. 
It's quite a good idea to create a copy of your User Profile every so 
often so that it's easier to get back to a configuration you liked if 
anything crazy ever happens. 

It's the price of getting a much newer and more updated version. 
Windows users always have to install any programs this way so it's a 
bit like going back to Windows for a little moment. 

Regards from 
Tom :)

I see. If I install LibreOffice 4.4 manually (via the RPM I'm 
guessing?) can I just install a newer version over it once it's 
released, or do I have to remove the whole thing before installing an 
update? Thanks!

Hi, the best suggestion is to grab the latest from the LO site (you 
will 
have to monitor the site for updates): 

http://www.libreoffice.org/ 

As well as monitoring for updates you also have to install & remove 
manually. As you are using Fedora I assume you are familiar with that 

process but any problems pls sing out. 

Cheers

Hello, 

LibreOffice in the Fedora 21 repositories are currently in the 4.3 
series. 
Is there an updated LibreOffice repository for Fedora 21 (and also 
future 
versions) that have LibreOffice 4.4? I like to use the newest version 
of 
LibreOffice on Fedora if possible. Thanks! 


with Fedora 21 I have been using the standard Fedora release, but, if 
you do not, I think that you can remove the existing using yum... 

Is it installed? 

yum list installed | grep "libreoffice" 

I expect that you can remove it using 

yum remove libreoffice* 

I have always used "yum localinstall *.rpm" to install the RPMs after I 
extract the code. 

Last time I did this, there was a GUI integration driectory under the 
standard RPM directory. I changed to that directory  and installed the 
RPM meant for UI integration for gnome. I don't remember what that is 
called off hand, or even if it is still required. I don't have time now 
to download and check the RPMs, but, if you send a list of RPMs, I can 
tell you which one it is.
