You've "installed" it, which means it's installed as well as what was
already there. If you "updated" it, older version would have been
replaced by the newer ones.
Generally you only install things like kernels (where you want to keep
more than one version on the system), or packages that have never
previously been installed on your system; and you update/upgrade
packages as you go along. You can also use the update/upgrade
installation method for new packages, and RPM will install them with no
problems.
I would have used "rpm -Uvh" for installing the OpenOffice.org packages.
How do I remove the older version(1.1 version) away?
You can try "erasing" the older versions, using "rpm -e" with the
specific package details. But you might strike some problems that
require you to remove the old and new packages, then install the new
ones by themselves (again).
