OpenOffice is the premier open source office suite. However Lenny ships with the older 2.x version of OpenOffice. However, you can add the backports repositories and make sure it defaults to the backports repos in synaptic. Now you can install OpenOffice 3.

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-gtk

You can substitute openoffice.org-kde if needed.
