After 6 months of trying to understand how to configure a triple boot with Window 7, Vista and Ubuntu, I have had success. Previously, I had no idea how to get Ubuntu or SUSE to see the data on my NTFS drives, nor could I get the triple boot setup to work or even a dual boot with Vista to work for many various reasons. So now I am up and running and although I have been listed as a maintainer on Office 2003, I have never posted anything, because I couldn't get Linux working in the fashion I wanted. Now I have followed the instructions to install Wine and it is installed, but I have no idea how to install Office 2003. I have tried clicking on setup, but get an error message. I understand that the setup and installation works already, so I must be doing something wrong. I cannot find any information on this website as to how to install a Windows program through Wine, just how to install Wine and how to report problems or try to debug. I'm hoping that I will not have to be responsible for debugging as that is beyond my abilities. I just want to install this and report the problems and provide info so that they may be able to do so. If that is not the job of a maintainer, then I also need to know that now.
Sorry for the long dialogue. Thank you in advance for the help.

Office 2003 is installed with many problems. What is the procedure at this point for me as a maintainer?
I'm your fellow maintainer for Office 2003 and the supermaintainer for all versions of Microsoft Office.
Since you are new to Wine, I recommend you start with familiarizing yourself with http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ and http://appdb.winehq.org/help/?sTopic=ma ... guidelines as well as the howtos and guidelines for submitting test reports for the Office installer that I have already put in the Office 2003 entry.
