well... trojan are programs you install yourself. If the openofice you just get is infected, you wont know what happen.
the only time when I've seen trojan or virus are illegal download or floppies. Once on a official cd (sent by the government with exam subjects - it was a word virus :-)
I've seen trojans/viruses get into systems through a number of ways (back in college, I spent some time researching viruses and even had a collection I used for testing in an isolated environment). Thing is, if you download openoffice from openoffice.org and you know it's clean, then a ZoneAlarm-like program can checksum it. If the program becomes infected and the AV software doesn't catch it, the second layer of protection can catch it and inform the user that the program was changed.
