I just call it office :)

Great. I just trained my teachers that NeoOffice is now OpenOffice in
two buildings, and in the third they're bitching because OpenOffice is
not Microsoft Office.
Pretty soon I'm just going to start handing them Etch-a-Sketches and be
done with it.

Q: Why are you calling yourselves "The Document Foundation"?
A: For ten years we have used the same name - "OpenOffice.org" - for
both the Community and the software. We've decided it removes ambiguity
to have a different name for the two, so the Community is now "The
Document Foundation", and the software "LibreOffice".
Q: And why are you calling the software "LibreOffice" instead of
"OpenOffice.org"?
A: The OpenOffice.org trademark is owned by Oracle Corporation. Our
hope is that Oracle will donate this to to the Foundation, along with
the other assets it holds in trust for the Community, in due course,
once legal etc issues are resolved. However, we need to continue work in
the meantime - hence "LibreOffice" ("free office").

With Oracle's acquisition of Sun, it looks like there may be some
changes, or at least another competitor, to OpenOffice:
