Run MS office 2007 using wine under 10.10

and for 10.04 LTS as well, please.

yes it does!
I have it running under 10.04 (and installed) ... all wine updates and it's still running

You'll find a few tips at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992
Some of the programs do not work very well, others such as Word are excellent.

Thanks for the answer, but what exact version# (and url) of the wine did you use?

Which MS office 2007 version did you use, SP2?

Were you able to install directly in 10.10, not just upgrading?

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 gives ways to run it. 2002 and 2000 run much better. What's wrong with openoffice??

all that I wanted to say are there.

If you want to pay for software then fine. I prefer to use open alternatives, the benefits listed arequite trivial and considering its $200 I'd rather pass.

Answering the question myself,

> Were you able to install directly in 10.10, not just upgrading?

Yes, freshly install under Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.

JFTR,

Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise edition with SP2 Integrated didn't work:

wine setup.exe &
 [ . . . ]
Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)
err:process:create_process starting 64-bit process L"Z:\\mnt\\iso1\\setup.exe" not supported in 32-bit wineprefix
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\mnt\iso1\setup.exe

So I choose an older one -- it is the (original) Microsoft Office Suite 2007 Enterprise Edition, and it works just fine.
