How would I update libreoffice 4.0 to 4.2, I tried the default apt-get update' and 'upgrade
but It didn't detect that there is a new version yet. I am using Ubuntu 12.04

You will have to add the repo then do a distribution upgrade.
Repo; http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu
The easiest way is to run these commands in a terminal (CLI) one after the other;
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
When there is a new version Update Manager will say some packages are held back. The key is to do a distribution upgrade via CLI.
