Need help with installing Office 2007

[jbfps116]

I'm confused by all the outdated, mixed up info on installing office 2007. Could someone give clear directions here?
OK, I have Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon 1.8, 64 bit. with WINE 1.6
I've installed Office 2007. Word can't save docs, and when you close it, it says it needs msxml 5 installed.... Onenote won't work, there are instructions here http://www.umairrashid.com/2012/02/01/g ... -on-linux/ but I think it is outdated info.
any suggestions?

OK, I tried adding these to the Onenote's libraries, and it now works. gdiplus, msxml3, riched20 and 32
Word is still having issues.

Word can't open files either. A configuration dialog box comes up...

Sounds like http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30785.

As for the "outdated, mixed up info on installing Office 2007", the AppDB Howto states:

Note: I­f you have 64 bit Wine inst­alled, you must create a 32 bit wineprefix for Office 2007 or the installed programs will not be usable.­

So you're saying I need to delete my installation of Office and somehow install it on a 32 bit wineprefix? How do I do it?

The simplest way would be to move/rename your ".wine" folder to e.g. ".wineold". Then run "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg", this will create a new (empty) ".wine" folder aka 32bit wineprefix. Then install Office again, it will be installed in the new ".wine" folder . If you've got other applications in your old wineprefix, you can still run them like this: "WINEPREFIX=~/.wineold wine yourapplication.exe".
