After downloading software, you need to install it before it can be
used. You should download software to a particular location, like your
desktop or your Documents folder, so you can easily locate them. It
sounds like you downloaded the installer, but didn't actually install
the program. If so, use the spotlight feature (the blue magnifying
glass icon in the upper right corner of your desktop) to search for
something like OOo_3.1.1_MacOSXIntel_install_en-US.dmg (see below).
When you download the OOO package from the web on a Mac, you should have
an installation program which ends with a .dmg extension
(OOo_3.1.1_MacOSXIntel_install_en-US.dmg). Double-click this file and
it will "mount" as a disk image on the Mac desktop. It also should
automatically open a window which displays an OpenOffice.org icon and
another icon for your Applications folder. Simply drag the
OpenOffice.org icon and drop it on the Applications icon. The software
will then install in your Applications folder. This is the standard
way programs are installed in OS X.
After installation, you can launch OpenOffice by navigating to your
Applications folder and double clicking the OpenOffice icon.

I am new to Open Office and to macbook. I downloaded Open Office
