Hi Dave,Thank you for your response.Here is what I did, after reading your
notes:
Quit Open Office by selecting"Quit" in OO menu bar.Ejected OO disk icon that
remained on desktop.Opened the Application Folder located in the Dock on
desktop.Selected and clicked on OO icon in application folder.OO disk icon
again appeared on desktop.Clicked on OO disk icon to start program.OO start bar
appeared and loaded on desktop.OO files opened, as usual.
Everything above is what I go through each time I quit OO.
The disk icon never goes away while OO is open.If I try to eject the OO disk on
the desktop, a message says because OO files are opened, I have to Force Eject.
This would terminate the OO program, until I relaunch it.

Open the Application Folder.
Open the OpenOffice that’s in the Application folder.
You should now be able to eject the DMG.
