LibreOffice is seeing some dramatic improvements each version and subversion that goes out.
I would like to have always the latest version of LibreOffice on my machine(s). I know of the PPA that exists but is it recommended to use it with 12.04 for daily use? What are the pro and cons of using the PPA? Will it break my system/Libreoffice installation?
Does libreoffice get eventually also upgraded in the Ubuntu repositories or does this upgrade happen only with new releases? Who manages the upgrades of libreoffice in Ubuntu and in the PPA?

Once you click on this link, read the section called "Adding this PPA to your system" to make sure you install it correctly for your 12.04 system.
If this package is to 'cutting edge', I would use the following ppa for LibreOffice that might help as well:
To look over the instructions, follow this link here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice To quote the site on what this ppa is about:
