Installing Service Pack 2 and 3 for Office 2007 - How is it done?

[Dural]

I asked my question on AskUbuntu but since I couldn't get an answer I'm putting it here.

I installed the latest version of PlayonLinux using the instructions given on their download page (http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html) for Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). I followed the instructions to install PlayonLinux, but it seems it (as in the script provided for Office 2007) installed Wine 1.2.3 (x86). According to WineHQ, versions after 1.3.21 should be able to install the Service Packs perfectly. (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...rsion&iId=4992)

To get the updates installed, I added Wine 1.5.14 (x86) through PlayonLinux but when I opened Word 2007 under that version of Wine both Wine and Word 2007 crashed. Now I'm not sure where to start or what to do. I'm a novice to Wine in general so any detailed help would be much appreciated.

Okay, I don't know how to install the SP's, but I do know how to get it installed. Insert your Office DVD, and navigate to the setup.exe file, and right click, open with WINE. Enter your Product key, install as normal. Then, go to the Dash, type in the name of one of the programs (etc, Word), and select don't install Microsoft Updates, because, in my experience, when you do that, Office freezes, and keeps freezing on startup. Hope I helped

^ I installed Office 2007 just fine. It runs well in WINE so far (haven't tested printing), but I'm not going to use it until I can be sure that I can install those service packs so I'm not putting my computer at risk. Normally I would just use LibreOffice but unfortunately where I work is Microsoft Office only and I can't guarantee that the documents I open will look exactly the same in Libreoffice.

When you save it in Libre, just save it as the MS Office file type.

Anywho, scroll to the bottom for SP install.
