how to install Apache OpenOffice

I am trying to install OpenOffice onto my mac pro, but this is what I am getting


"OpenOffice.org" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.


Your security preferences allow installation of only apps fromt he Mac App Store and identified developers.


I am not very computer savy to say the least.


Can some one tell me what to do and if this is even a good program to use.


Thank you

MacBook Pro

Depends on your preference. It's a security feature. If you change it back you run less risk of running into malware (though it's scarce on the Mac anyway). But if you leave it then you won't be stopped next time you want to download a program from someone who isn't "identified."
