I think MS Office will run well under Wine. (At least 2007 does).

To install Wine, go to:

System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager, look for "Wine" and install it. (Or just type "Sudo apt-get install wine" on the terminal, Ubuntu will do the rest for you)

Now, with it installed, insert the MS Office CD, find the .exe used to install (usually it's called setup.exe), right click it and choose "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader". Follow the rest of the setup and you're good to go.

MS Office will be inside: Applications > Wine > Programs
