Open office on mac - can't open

Hi Users Open Office,

I recently downloaded Open office on mac but can't open it because it says
"OpenOffice" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
Please advise.

I'm on Mac OS Big Sur 11.1

Thanks,

Jeff

Read about half-way down this web page and you will see how to do it for any program that cannot be verified:

If you use Big Sur, there is currently a bug. Investigation is ongoing.

Thanks,

Another problem is that it keeps quitting unexpectedly when I try to open
up some MS word or excel files to Open Office. Please advise.

This is probably Apple Gatekeeper telling you this.  The solution to the Gatekeeper problem is Question 05/Answer 05 in this set of Mac problems:
