If you have downloaded the file in the subject, of type .exe, it is intended 
for Windows and will not run on a Mac.  You should go to 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/
and select the Mac version from the dropdown. 

If the Mac complains: “OpenOffice” cannot be opened because the developer 
cannot be verified.
