I'm gonna add a few more useful remarks, I think:
1) To uninstall OpenOffice use an advanced uninstaller such as Revo
Uninstaller and consistently clear all registry entries and program
remnants (there are such options during the uninstallation process);
2) Remove the OpenOffice folder with all content from the
%AppData%Roaming% path, but first select "Show hidden files and folders"
in the folder options;
3) Delete files from the %AppData%Local%Temp% folder;
Then install to the purely latest version of OpenOffice downloaded from
the page provided by Wade in the link.
Good luck

1) You are contacting a USER group.
2) It is the ONLY support you will get from Apache.
3) If you have Windows 10 then you do not have the
most recent version - but updates. Install the latest
version from the site AS IT IS FREE OF CHARGE
and if you have any problems from there - without
being a total ass - describe the problem you are
having and people will be more than happy to help.

How is Apache contacted? I can't get anything but a bunch of garbage in my
online searches.
FYI. The original disc was purchased at Sam's Club several years ago and has
been updated free of further charges thereafter. I have never seen anything
that says the program was originally free of charge.

YOU PROVIDED THE LINK FROM WHICH TO DOWNLOAD! I USED THIS LINK! AREN'T YOU
AWARE OF THE LINK YOU PROVIDED?
I am using the latest updated version of Windows 10.
AGAIN! I have the most recent update of the program I purchased several years
ago. The program now fails to fill the background of the cells with those
colors from the color chart provided. In reviewing older saved files, I find
that the background colors have also been removed.
I have also used the app on Windows 10 that is supposed to make older programs
compatible with Windows. This also does not work.

It would help us to answer your question if you provided adequate
information about your issue:
1. Which link are you referring to?
2. Which operating system are you using?
3. Can you provide more detailed information about your issue.
Several million other users are not experiencing the same problem.
