Uninstalling - Linux Setup, Configuration & Administration

[Dieter]

I work under RH9, and I want to update my OpenOffice.org. I am told
that I must first uninstall the existing one. When I try that, going
into "Install/uninstall", I get a list of applications, and then
the details for "Office". At this point, there are 12 packages,
among them OOO which I want to uninstall. All 12 are marked with
a tick, and the only option I now seem to have is to install
something. How do I uninstall?? Thank you for any help.

And, if necessary:
