They go in $HOME for each user.

If you feel that this is important to you and you do not want users to
have their files in their home directories, I suggest that you enter an
Request for Enhancement (RFE) into Issue Tracker as this is the best way
to have requests such as this evaluated.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
Register link at the top right of www.openoffice.org,
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
