I used the wine (1.2.1) included with Ubuntu, to install Microsoft Office 2007. All of the office products (word, Powerpoint, etc.) show up on the Applications>Wine>Programs>Microsoft Office menu. Unfortunately, not a single one will work. Every product results in the same error message, which indicates that the product has encountered a serious problem and needs to be closed. "This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine." I think I sent information about this to the http://bugs.winehq.org site, as indicated in the message, on Christmas, but I am not sure, because I can't seem to find any trace of the information I sent. Maybe I sent it to the wrong place, perhaps an ubuntu forum. I can't find anything at those forums either. Sorry for the ramble, but does anyone know how I can get the office products to work in Ubuntu? I am a newbie, and I don't know programming. > Run them in the terminal and get the terminal output/log. If it large post it on a site like pastebin. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4 John
