Hey Rony,
OpenOffice 3.1.0 is available for Ubuntu 8.04 in the Personal Package Archives (PPA) courtesy "OpenOffice.org Scribblers". Follow this guide:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8...
Its actually for Ubuntu 8.10, so replace deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main with deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
BTW, ignore the comments on that page stating that the method does not work for hardy. The PPA page (https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppahttps://launchpad.net/%7Eopenoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa) clearly states that there are packages available for hardy. Probably the added those packages later on.
I don't have Hardy installed, so couldn't test. Do report back whether this works.
I testify, OO.o 310 works fine on my Hardy. Actually, there was just one problem... I had to manually remove the duplicate entries from the Office Menu in Application Launcher.
