OpenOffice won't Install on Android

Hi
I am having trouble posting this.

I have downloaded open office but it won't
install on my tablet (os android 4.0). I get the message can't open. I don't know if I need to add or delete a program to make it install, or if it's the open office program itself that's the problem.

I would be grateful for any help, as I'am not technically minded.

Thanks

OpenOffice doesn't run on Android systems, due to changes in the system libraries in the conversion of Linux to Android.

You may want to try LibreOffice builds for Android [1], however, they are probably still not suitable for work.

I downloaded kingsoft office, but I haven't tested it yet. I will look into libre office also.
