No, I did download the right version. When I do click on the application, the "open" action (the image seems to blow up and disappear) does happen, and then nothing... I even installed an Open Office Excel sheet I had from a previous computer and clicked on it to open it. The same thing as when I try to start the application happens, and then nothing... When I installed it for the first time, it did ask me if I wanted to use the fonts and I clicked yes.

See http://porting.openoffice.org/ mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html As far as I know all the eMacs are PPC- based, I'm pretty sure they were all made before Apple started using Intel chips.
