It is a “wine wrapper” and makes things easier. Though, for many new Linux users, Wine can be tedious and irritating to use without any direction. With enough effort and Wine tinkering, anyone can get a Windows program up and running on Linux. Using the Wine tools to get Windows programs is not a difficult process. Make sure to download only the 32-bit version, even if your system is 64-bit.

This is because Office 2016 does not work well with Wine. Go to this link, make a Microsoft account (or log in), and download the Office 2013 program. Microsoft Office 2013 is what this tutorial will focus on. In this article we’ll cover the easiest way to get Microsoft Office on your Linux machine. I dug in the internet looking for a solution, but haven't found one yet.Over the years there have been many different ways to get Microsoft Office working.

Don't rememer it happened to me with Windows on it, but I almost never used VMs on Windows with my laptop. My computer freezes about 70% of the times when running a VM on it. The most important reason why not using the VM solution is that my laptop and VMs doesn't get along. And doing it as a VM is even more of an overhead.Ĥ. installing Windows just for running office, it looks too much to me. I currently have couple of 8GB flash-drives for this experiment of mine and I thought giving it a try before buying a flash-drive with sufficient space for running VMs on it.ģ. I was actually started thinking about installing Ubuntu on a flash drive too and installing office on it. I was more into making shortcuts on the desktop and problem solved.Ģ. While I'm perfectly fine with it and can't find why one shouldn't be able of doing it, they just won't like it at all (I actually try something similar to that with them once - it turned out to be an awful idea). Telling them that they need to run a program, then select the appropriate OS, run it, press a button to make it run in full screen and only then the could use office - believe me, I know them. They need simple things (and yes, linux is not simple to most people, but I think that they will manage with Ubuntu). When giving my family use the computer it could be a nightmare. Yea, this was my first thought about how to solve this issue.
