This howto I will be using Ubuntu 9.10.

Installing Office 2007 on Ubuntu with Wine

First thing we need to do is install wine, if wine is already installed you can skip this...

sudo apt-get install wine

Next we need to install some microsoft libs before we can run the office 2007 installer.

Download .NET 1.1 and MS XML 6

.NET 1.1  can be found here
MS XML 6 can be found here

Use wine to install .NET 1.1 and MSXML6
# wine msxml6.msi
# wine fotnetfx1.1.exe

Once both packages are installed we can move over to the office 2007 installer. INsert your cd/iso/extracted folder, how ever you have your media and launch the setup.exe with wine.

# wine Setup.exe

Follow the wizard and you should now have office installed. Problem is, no service packs or updates can be applied.
