It is unlikely that oo.o 3.2 will be packaged for Fedora 12 since it may 
be seen as too major a jump to make within a release. The are however 3.2 
RPMs for the Fedora 13 development version which should appear in an alpha 
version within the next couple of weeks, so you could try packages from 
that, or just upgrade your whole OS to it. Note that mixing RPMs from 
different Fedora versions can cause problems so I would recommend a fair 
amount of expertise in resolving package conflicts (and in the worst case 
scenario recovering a non-functional or partially functional system 
and/or good backups).
