Wine - MS Office 2010 - can't open existing documents
Hi ):P
I'm new here as I've only just switched to Ubuntu for the first time last week. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
For my work, I need to be able to use MS Office 2010, so I downloaded and installed and activated Wine.
It took me a while to get it all sorted out, but eventually I managed.
Now I am able to open Word and Excel using Wine.
However, I can't use those programs to open existing files.
I *am* able to create a new document using Word or Excel and to save that document to the C drive.
But I can't open those documents again, to edit them, or to view them.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm starting to lose track of what I'm doing Ubuntu-wise... I'm not even sure how/ where to search for tips for this specific problem.
Has anyone had this problem before or can make a blind guess as to what *might* be a solution?
Any pointers in a vaguely right direction are much appreciated :razz:
And SORRY if this is a really dumb question! #-o
Thanks
Bella

I'm using office 2010 through wine.
How exactly is it not opening files?
Did you navigate to and open the files through word/excel and they don't open?
Or are you trying to right-click open with excel/word?
