Hello Haim Giloh,
Why do you think I have send the mail to you? The address is
users@openoffice.apache.org.
Do you know what the technology "Mailing List" does?
All the best

Hello, please be aware: this mail has been *sent erroneously to me*,
instead of to the person who has submitted the question.
To a number of other people asking for support has happened the same.
Sincerely,

Dan,
It appears that that you are opening the OpenOffice program from within the
downloaded dmg file (i.e., from the window described below). That file
contains a virtual disk that contains the program and other files. You are
supposed to copy the OpenOffice program from that virtual disk to the
Applications folder on your computer.
The steps for installing OpenOffice on a Mac are as follows:
1. Download the OpenOffice distribution file
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg.
2. Double click on the icon for the dmg file (i.e., wherever it got
downloaded to), which will (a) mount the virtual disk contained in the dmg
file, which creates an "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and (b) display
the virtual disk's contents in a window named "OpenOffice" (which is the
"screen" referenced in the instructions that you quoted).
3. *In that "OpenOffice" window*, drag the "OpenOffice.app" icon to the
"Applications" icon (also in that window—it is an alias for the actual
Applications folder). (You appear to have dragged the "OpenOffice" icon
from the desktop to the Applications folder, which is not the same
thing—different name and different source location.)
4. Close the "OpenOffice" window.
5. Select (single-click) the "OpenOffice" icon on the desktop, and select
File > Eject "OpenOffice". (You could also right click [or hold down
Control and left click] on that icon and select Eject "OpenOffice" from the
menu that is displayed.)
6. Drag the downloaded dmg file to the Trash (or save it somewhere for
[unlikely] future use).
Then, to use OpenOffice, double click on its icon in the Applications
folder.
If you want to avoid having to go to the Applications folder (or the
Launcher?) each time you want to use OpenOffice, you can keep its icon in
the Dock permanently.
I hope this helps,
Chuck
P.S. For the record, I have not looked at the instructions posted on the
OpenOffice website.
