Hi -- OpenOffice is configured to be suitable for most users right out-of-the-box. For example. macro security is set to require confirmation before executing unsigned/untrusted macros. As you probably know, making a configuration "secure" is not a binary on/off thing. It starts with understanding what your risks are, based on your usage patterns and threat assessments, and mitigating those risks. For example, some are concerned only about executable code in documents, aka "macros", while others are worried about data leakage in the form of personal information in documents. There are things you can do to mitigate these risks, but there is no "one-size-fits-all" set of hardening recommendations that would be correct for all users. But in general you'll want to look at the configuration options under Tools/Options/OpenOffice/Security. The help files (press F1 to bring up help) explains the operation of these options.
