First you should remove OpenOffice.org by entering in the Terminal:

sudo apt-get purge openoffice*.*

To install LibreOffice, run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
 
sudo apt-get update
 
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

For better compatibility with your desktop environment, you should install one more package:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome

or

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-kde

To reinstall the English language support you can use:

sudo apt-get install language-support-en

For other languages just change en to something else, like ro for Romanian or fr for French.

On a side note, most newer distro releases are already phasing out OpenOffice for LibreOffice. Ubuntu 11.04 and Linux Mint 11RC are prime examples.
