When one downloads a program file in Windows, the normal procedure is to double click it and it should install.

if the openoffice program displayed an icon after download I would have double clicked on it but no icon appeared on the screen. do I have to locate the file once again and double click on it?

The file should be found in your browser's download directory, with a name similar to Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Win_x86_install_en-GB.exe.
