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

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."
Go to System Preferencs > Security & Privacy > General. Click the lock icon in the lower left and enter your password. Then when it says "Allow applications downloaded from:" choose Anywhere.
Oh that error is because in Security & Privacy the option to only allow downloads from the Mac App Store is checked. you need to click the Lock icon, Type in your password and select Anywhere.
Double Click on the DMG file. Follow the onscreen instructions.
don't know what the DMG file is
So can I change it back after it fully installs or do I leave it from anywhere?
Thank you goes out to the both of you.
It now works and I am inputting my data.
You're quite welcome.
