wine and ms office 2003

[mesman00]

Hi. I just installed ms office 2003 using wine 0.9.52 (i am running Gusty Gibbon). Microsoft word seems to crash quite often while saving files. This does not happen in excel or power point, and they seem to be working great. Has anyone else experienced this problem in MS Word 2003 and wine 0.9.52, or know what might be causing it? If it makes a difference, my windows version in wine is set to Windows 2000.

P.S., to get MS Office 2003 working with wine 0.9.52, see the following link:

Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but why use an inferior office suite when you have the choice? Is there any specific reason not to use Open Office?

I know that open office doesn't do anything. I would think about using the viewers rather than the office package. If you own windows, I would go the virtualbox route instead. If not, keep plugging with wine.
