I have downloaded the exe file "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.3_Win_x86_install_en-US" and the md5 file that belongs to it. When I upload the md5 file to the recommended websites I get a different hash numbers to that in the exe file.
You will, because you should not be submitting the MD5 file to anything. The instructions at the web site are not entirely clear and you seem to be misinterpreting them.
What should I do?
Use whatever means you wish to process the (large) downloaded installation file and derive its MD5 hash value. But don't also do this with the MD5 file. Instead, open the MD5 file in a text editor: it contains only the required comparison hash value and the name of the relevant installation file. Compare the MD5 value from the installation file with the *content* of the MD5 file. They need to match.
