Re: Problem in installing MSoffice 2007 in ubuntu13.04 through wine

Why you dont install open office or just use already builded Libre Office? It supports MS office commands. :/
I need it for MS presentaion which OO/LO lacks terribly.

80% of the time, there is no way to use LO or OO instead of MSO. Examples:
* working in a team with other companies using MSO (edits, notes, comparisons fail, fonts are different pagination is different - re-re-re-reformatting will kill everyone's productivity)
* when the output doc format is contractually required to be 100%, MSO files
* when there are OCX or other addons that are required for use, but only work in MSO
* when you need to embed Microsoft-only objects, files, into documents. I've never gotten MS-Visio diagrams to embed into anything except MSO.
That is precisely the reasons why I want it running in wine. While I have also started to think of installing it in VMplayer with xp installed as I didn't see it runing well in wine for many.
