Hi from me as well, @lvdw55!

 

What do you see now on your desktop app, when trying to edit your files with OpenOffice?

 

As for your iPhone, if OpenOffice isn't available to be installed there, you'll need to find another third party app instead in order to edit those files on your mobile device.

 

After that, you can open your Dropbox mobile app, locate the file you'd like to edit, click on the 3 dots next to it and select "Open in" to open it with the third party app of your choice.
