Question on names for OO.org applications

I'm a bit confused over the convention used to refer to the OO.org suite
of applications, or rather the individual applications. When you access
them in the various menus, Applications -->Office-->OO.org AppType it
refers to each by Application type, Presentation, Spreadsheet, Word
Processor. (I'm using 8.04) yet in many areas of documentation and
training materials, we refer to these items by the "interior"
application names; Calc, Writer, Impress. To an end user, they only see
those titles when the application is opened, yet many of the materials
refer to these by name. I guess I'm trying to understand what would be
the best way to refer to these applications for a new user target
audience; switchers from MS. This is becoming very confusing to try to
write materials when there is a difference in the menu item and
application name.
Is there a convention for referring to these items? i.e. by name or by
application?
Is there any traction to make the menu titles match the application names?
thanks,
Dinda
