Basically I created a separate 32-bit wineprefix for MS-Office. (It's best to have a separate wineprefix for each software package so you can easily uninstall packages. Run 'winetricks' and install a couple of packages if you want to see how that works.) (Note: I am running Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Cinnamon edition. Create and configure the default (64-bit) wineprefix, in.wine.

This can be done in any of the following ways: • run winecfg • run winetricks --gui • Menu ->Wine ->Configure Wine 2. Create a separate wineprefix for MS-Office, in wineoffice, and install MS-Office into it. This is done by setting environment variables, so I opened a new Terminal and: export WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wineoffice winecfg # creates and configures the new wineprefix cd /media/jackson/OFFICE12 # the Office CD, previously inserted wine./setup.exe When the 'Install / Customise' screet appears, choose 'Customise' and in the top 'drawer' (Microsoft Office), choose 'Run all from my computer' to make it install *everything*.

Winecfg Under 'Libraries' select 'riched20' and set it to 'Native (Windows). This makes all the apps in this wineprefix use the 'riched20' library that has been installed by MS-Office instead of the default wine version.

If you don't do this, Powerpoint and some other things do not work. There should now be lots of MS-Office apps in Menu ->Wine. • Make sure you're connected to the Internet. • Run Menu ->WIne ->Microsoft Word and follow the prompts to: • Activate over the Internet • Tell it you don't want to run Microsoft Update. Go to microsoft.com and get the downloads for MS-Office 2007 Service Pack 3.

Switching to Linux doesn't mean you have to give up on your Windows applications. For Office users, here's how to install Microsoft Office 2013 in Linux.

MagicMint is correct. I vastly prefer LibreOffice, and open source software in general.

However sometimes, particularly when working with client files created in MS-Word, I find it easier to use Word. 4 years ago good tutorial 4 years ago Works perfect.
