...to get office 2007 working for me I installed bin32-wine, winetricks and then ran:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg and set windows to xp and then ran: $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks msxml3 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1 allfonts
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine setup.exe and then to actually use any of the executables you must cd to the directory. IE: $ cd ~/win32/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12 $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine ./EXCEL.EXE
You could set WINEPREFIX in your bash_profile, or make 32bit wine your default (then you only have to do WINEARCH=win32 winecfg). Anyway the two main problems I had were accidentally emulating 64bit (I know Wine Is Not Emulation) windows instead of 32 bit. Also I found that the programs hang if I didn't cd into the directory, probably because the dlls are linked with the local directory. Anyway everything works this way.
