OK. I think the .tbz one is for 5.xx FreeBSD. For 4.9 there is
an OpenOfficexxxx.tgz. I didn't do the dictionary one so don't
know much about that one.

Suggest:
cd /home/user/Download
cp openoffice-1.1.0_1 /usr/local/.
cd /usr/local
pkg_add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
replace instances of {BASE} with /usr/local if needed
/usr/local/OpenOffice-1.1.0_1/program/soffice to set up
later runs of soffice will start openoffice running.
(presuming you are running 5.xxx) suggest moving the openofficexxx.tbz
to /usr/local/ and running pkg-add on it.
The pkg-add command would be as above: pkg-add openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
It will create the openoffice-1.1.0_1 directory. It does it in the
directory you are in when you run pkg_add, I think. Since I followed
the recommendation and put it in /usr/local and CD-ed there and ran it,
I don't know just how it will do it if run from somewhere else. But,
however, that is where you want it to end up. I also shortened the
install dir name to .../openoffice1 when it asked but that shouldn't
make any difference.
Also, by the way, you want to put the path to .../openoffice/program
in your regular path statement in .login or wherever works best for
you and your chosen shell.

I didn't use that so I don't know. The install would
be the same. Put it in /usr/local/ and run pkg-add on it.
Beyond that I don't know. Alternately it might go in the
.../OpenOffice1.1.0_1/ directory and then run pkg_add.
