How to get documents to open in OO 1.1.4 and not 1.1.3?

I've installed Open Office 1.1.4 in a separate directory (as 1.1.3 wouldn't uninstall due to an error message that it couldn't find a couple of libraries to complete the uninstall) but when I click on a document, i want it to open in 1.1.4 and not 1.1.3. How do I accomplish this?

One way is to start OO 1.1.4 then open the document concerned, but it will be the file association that is tied to OO 1.1.3. Check the link on changing mime types below:

If that does not help, run updatedb, uninstall OO 1.1.4 and then use locate to remove all files related to OO 1.1.3 and reinstall OO 1.1.4

Thanks - I've fixed the file associations, but I'd like to know why the Add/Remove applications won't un-install 1.1.3.
I get this error message:
"Packages Not Found.
The following packages could not be found on your system. Installation
(Un-installation?) cannot continue until they are installed.
Unlocatable Package Required By
openoffice.org (openoffice.org-i18n','1.1.3','11.5.0fc3')
openoffice.org (openoffice.org-libs','1.1.3','11.5.0fc3')
