Use Add/Remove Software from the System > Administration menu. You need openoffice.org-core and as many of the other components as you want.

or use yum directly

as root
Code:
yum install openoffice.org-core openoffice.org-writer openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-base
The first two will give you the word processor, only add the others if you want them.

You could just install openoffice.org-writer and core will be installed as a dependency anyway.

Did you not try to maybe check Google? Perhaps the OpenOffice website would have popped up:
http://www.openoffice.org/

And smoker is right, though with one caveat; unless you're paying for RHEL support/licensing, it probably won't let you install via yum.

If you haven't bought RHEL, replace it with CentOS. It's the same, but free (no support).
