Mike -
You need to use a backport to get OOo 2 in sarge.
Add the following to your sources list. (With your choice of mirror).
Uncomment out the deb line.
# DEBIAN BACKPORTS
# deb
http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib non-free
Run aptitude update or apt-get update.
Then install with the following command (mutatis mutandis):
aptitude -t sarge-backports install abiword
Now re-edit your sources list and comment out the backports deb line.
