Can I install MsOffice2003 on Ubuntu?

Asked by Rajesh Birla

Hello,

I have registered version of MsOffice 2003. I now want to switch to Ubuntu from Windows.
I have lot of documentations and presentations, excel sheets etc created in MsOffice 2003. Further, I am very much used to with Office 2003.

If I switch my OS from Windows to Ubuntu, will I be able to install my MsOffice 2003 on Ubuntu?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards,
Rajesh

Hi...

Yes, and it works rather well. May not be 100%, I once witnessed excel be a little stubborn, but yeah for MSO2003 on wine.

Rajesh, you might want to look at the instructions in this blog http://ubuntu-funda.blogspot.com/2010/06/ms-office-in-ubuntu.html .

Some configuration changes are needed to make powerpoint work under wine.
