How to: Install MS Office 2007

[killer_d76]

I just wanted to share how i did it, my wife been bugging me to install it on Ubuntu since she's beginnig to like it, except that she's really familiar using MS Office and ito din yung ginagamit nya sa Office.. i've tried all the possible ways on installing it, i even tried using CrossoverLinux kaso may bayad .. then ganito ginawa ko..

i totally remove my old wine version, i even deleted the .wine on the home folder, then i downloaded Wine ver 1.1.4 if you have installed winetricks,i would suggest for you to delete it as well.


to get Wine ver 1.1.4

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list 

tapos....

sudo apt-get update 

once done type in..

sudo apt-get install wine 

- this will install "wine" on your system

then download winetricks..

wget www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks 

tapos..

sh winetricks msxml3 dotnet20 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1 

it will install some DLL na kailangan for you to install MS Office

tapos..

winecfg 

change Windows version to "Vista"

change rpcrt4.dll ng Wine with rpcrt4 that i got from windows (attached file at the bottom of this post)

when all are done, place you Ms Office 2007 CD installer (i still use the trial version downloaded from M$) then click on "setup"

and wait mo lang matapos mag-install, minsan at 70% kala mo nag-hang pero bayaan mo lang it will push thru..

once installed.. run

winecfg 

tapos change mo ulit yung Windows version to "XP"..

your done!..

fix on fonts, bullet and numbering.. punta ka sa Word options

Applications> wine> programs> Microsoft Office> Microsoft Office Tools> Microsoft Office 2007> Language Settings

then delete all the language that you have there except dun sa ginagamit mo.. i'm using English (US).. restart mo pc mo.

yung Equation Editor, Acces and Outlook di gumagana pa.

check this out...






Additional tip to those who have it installed and having issues with fonts and bullet points, am not sure if this is legal.. but you could give this a try..

what you need:

a. USB thumbdrive (at least 512mb)

b. Computer or laptop with Windows XP or Vista OS and with MS Office 2007 installed (even trial version is ok)



1. find someone who uses MS Office 2007 (trial version is ok) on their Windows Machine or laptop.

2. go to "Fonts" by clicking Start> Control Panel > Fonts

3. select all the Font and make sure you just "copy" all the fonts files in the "Fonts" folder.

4. on your USB drive create "new folder" and name it as "Fonts".

5. paste all the fonts files you have copied to the "Fonts" folder you have created in your USB thumbdrive.

6. once you done, safely remove your thumbdrive

7. plug in the USB drive on your Ubuntu rig..

8. then click Applications > Wine > C:\drive > windows > Fonts

9. right click on the Fonts folder and save a copy of it just in case you have done something wrong

10. copy and paste all the fonts files you have from your USB thumbdrive to the "Fonts" folder.

----- Your Done! -------

Woow. Wala bang bugs? Lahat, gumagana?

[rjmdomingo2003]

Magpasalamat tayong lahat.

wala pong anuman.. gusto ko lang pong ma-ibalik yung tulong na binigay sa'kin ng mga members din dito!..

gumagana naman lahat so far.. except Equation Editor, Acces at Outlook.. i don't use it naman since i use "thunderbird" for email, and yung ibang applications naman di namin nagagamit talaga.

with regard to replacing the rpcrt4.dll sa wine
.. extract the rpcrt4.dll that is included on this post on your desktop, then go to...

home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

replace the rpcrt4.dll there with the one that you have extracted on your desktop.

Printer ko na lang ang kailangan ko mapagana and I'm 80% leaving Windows XP.

Pero I'll check this pa, di ko pa na-install Ubuntu (kaka format lang ng PC ko).

[wersdaluv]

How about OneNote? Super important for me eh. hehe

[killer_d76]

jsgotangco and some of the forumer were able to resolve the issue with my printer .. and i'm also 80% certain leaving XP since i'm planning to upgrade my HDD to 160GB!(no dual booting.. 160GB of ubuntu!) , kasi almost all of online games na nilalaro ng anak ko works on wine now!

with regard to "OneNote" i haven't tried it yet.. subukan kong mag-download ng trial version, then i'll keep you posted!

hhmm... after a few googling.. i found this.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hlight=onenote it mentioned OneNote worked for him.. except using it on his tablet for handwriting.. though am not sure what version of wine he's using.
