It would be more clear if the term in Calc which describes the whole file was
changed from Spreadsheet to Workbook. This is true for 2 reasons:

1) Currently the term for the whole file is Spreadsheet and the term for one
sheet in the whole file is sheet. I think this is redundant and confusing. If I
refer to a spreadsheet I want to be referring to one sheet, not an entire file
or collection of individual sheets. This is especially tricky when trying to
write documentation, because I say "the spreadsheet properties" or something
like that, the user who is reading will probably think I am referring to one
sheet, while in OOo speak I am referring to the whole file.

2) I hate this reason, but here I think it makes sense. This change would put us
more in line with the terminology that MS uses. I think for something like this,
it makes more sense to try to work with standard nomenclature. 

The second reason alone wouldn't be enough to merit the switch, but I think the
two reasons together warrant some serious consideration to this change. We need
to be able to be clear in our help files and in documentation. Making this
change will allow this.
