Maybe you should try Office 2003 instead; it works better:

There's a way to set up Office 2007 through WINE at http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-microsoft-office-2007-install-guide.html

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard good things about the method. Hope this helps!

I think you may need to purchase Crossover Office, as the latest versions of Word and Excel don't run under Wine right now (as you have learned).

You can use virtualization, e. g. VirtualBox.
Install a Windows guest with MS Office.
