Have you checked the AUR?
There's already a PKGBUILD for OpenOffice.

There's also a wiki page devoted specifically to this question.

Manohar, please make *some* effort to search before posting (This would be in the rules you claim to have read in your last thread after Inxsible directed you to read them before posting again).

I have already read the wiki page and also searched the google. I know how to install a package from AUR. What i am asking that how to install openoffice from a rpm package.

And the results from google are not helping me. That is why i posted here.

That is exactly what the AUR package for apache open office does does.  It takes the rpm as its source unpacks it and makes changes for arch compatibility and packages it back up producing an arch package as its output.

I hate to be that user, but seriously, why is anyone using OO anymore? Use LibreOffice: support freedom and be happy.

I find OO displays tables much better than Libre.
