Be aware that OpenOffice.org 2.1 requires Mac OS X 10.4 and will not run properly on Mac OS X 10.3. You can download 2.0 from ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.0.4rc3_20060930 The files in this directory are disk image files and look for the files with PPC (Power PC as I think your eMac has a G3 or G4 processor) and the appropriate ISO language code (en_US is American English, fr is French, de is German, etc.) These files are about 130MB in size and it is recommended that a broadband connection (Cable/DSL) be used to download them rather than narrowband (G3 Cell Phone/Dial-up) to connect to the Internet to download them. Please see the above mentioned web page for additional assistance with OpenOffice.org on your eMac.
