I was able to install FileFormatConverters.exe with msoffice97 and open .docx files no problem. Can't save in that format but nobody I work with cares.sfeeley wrote:A) MSOffice97--Success: I was able to follow essentially the instructions early in the thread for installing msoffice97. And despite its age I find that msword97 is a good word processor. Its fairly lightweight (although the added weight of wine is a drag). And it doesn't have the problems with footnotes suffering weird format problems that I encounter with libreoffice, oo, and abiword. Downside is that it can't handle the latest docx files.
I've also been able to install msoffice2007 following instructions from winehq and got word, excel and powerpoint running well. Haven't tried publisher as I don't use it. Access seems hopeless.
Good thread Steve, I wish I had seen it earlier. Cheers, J
