Until you switch your keyboard to Hindi and start typing or unless you switch your desktop to Hindi before you open the document.

If you generally type in Hindi on your computer, set Hindi to your default layout. On Gnome:

OpenOffice will only display the characters your keyboard is sending to it. There is nothing in OpenOffice to switch from typing English/Roman characters to Hindi/Devanagari characters.

You may, on Gnome at least, set things up so that each individual application switches the keyboard layout to a certain language/script but you don't do that in the application; you switch the keyboard for that application using keyboard preferences.
