Ubuntu 11.04 moved away from Open Office and started using Libre Office instead. This should be installed by default.

The differences between LibreOffice and OpenOffice are minimal. Libre Office is a fork of Open Office and the two can read each others files.

If for some reason you don't have libreOffice installed it can be installed from the software centre
