  • why would i want windows office ?

    i got Libre office works just as fine ,

    + the powerpoint creator is better in my opinion ,

  • @kjah11 I wholeheartedly agree! I have a pretty decent subsection of users that do not like change.

  • HELP PLEASE. I have an Asus Eee PC but has no entry for disks, What I can do? Sorry for my bad english :l

  • @Spacemowicho You can indeed install it from a USB flash drive. If you have to do it from USB you can install without using WINETRICKS. Find the Office executable and basically use the procedure from my video "How to get Ubuntu 11 to open an .exe in Wine without the command line"

  • what cd? do you need the office cd

    is it possible to download if you bought a digital copy online

  • @bmetfan22 yes. You can either burn it to a cd named OFFICE12 or follow the method In my other office install video. If you follow the part where I install wine and just run the Office install executable it will work as well.

  • If you could find documentation that actually works as advertised. Tried to install Office 2010 using wine tricks ... the documentation I found had like 20 - 30 steps and it didn't come close to get the program working in Linux, but it was for Office 2007 ... spent hours, wouldn't work ... epic fail !

    Do you have a way to run NetFlix Movies in Linux? ... will silverlight work in wine?

  • thanks finally i dont have to make any excusives to my teacher finally i can send my tasks to her

  • Hi @Retr0rob: I've tried installing and it works fine except that, creating graphs in excel, at some point the system prompts "not enough resources" something like that (i have 8GB of RAM, and 20GB of swap memory) so I don't understand what is lacking

  • How should I burn the cd?, because it sends a error message that can't find an archive which it's inside a folder.

    The cd must be burned without any carpet?

  • @milad4128 did you ever get it to work if so can you tell me what you did

  • @Retr0rob when go through wine tricks and select install an app and then select microsoft word 2007

    I get this prompt

    Working around wine bug 14980 -- Using native riched20

    and then I get this one continually

    Please insert and mount volume 'OFFICE12' (needed for package 'office2007pro')

    what do I do??????
