I know there were code changes that made later OpenOffice incompatible with earlier OSX. You can download the earlier version by dropping down the version selector on the righthand dropdown on www.openoffice.org/downloads.

Eli,
Open the folder that the download went to, click on the DMG image. Once it opens drag the OpenOffice icon to the Application Folder. The other files (Read Me and License) are for information.
To start the program open your Application Folder (if you want to have OpenOffice in your Dashboard drag the icon from the Application Folder to the Dashboard) and click on the icon.
If you have any further questions please respond to the users@openoffice.apache.org address.

I would strongly advise you to install the latest version which is
4.1.2. And be sure you download it only from www.openoffice.org .
