These instructions assume you are familiar with the basics of using Wine and Linux, including running apps from the command line. If you are new to Wine and/or Linux, before proceeding further please familiarize yourself with the information in the FAQ, particularly the sections on creating a 32 bit wineprefix, running an installer, and using wineprefixes.
After installing, set riched20 to native, builtin in winecfg to enable Powerpoint to start and selection boxes to display correctly.

Office Professional Plus does not require .NET to be installed, but if it detects that it is installed, it will look for a machine.config file. This will fail on Wine versions without wine-mono installed (i.e., versions prior to 1.5.6).
The recommended solution is to install wine-mono. The instructions below are provided solely for those who are unable to upgrade to a version of Wine supporting wine-mono.
There are two ways to work around this without installing wine-mono:
Installing winetricks dotnet20 will also work around the bug; however, because that will install native dlls that may cause other problems, it is not recommended.
The above workarounds must be done before running the installer. If you do not, and the installer fails, you must delete that wineprefix and start fresh, as the rollback process leaves behind something that prevents subsequent attempts from succeeding, even with one of the workarounds applied. Note also that a rolled-back install leaves running processes that must be killed manually.

There are known regressions affecting the Office 2010 installer in the versions of Wine listed below. Do not attempt to install in them.
In addition, Office 2010 is not installable in any version prior to 1.3.9; this includes all 1.2.x versions.
1) Copy the CD content to a folder on your computer
2) Find the folder named "Standard.WW" (or ProPlus.WW or whatever your version name)
3) Inside that folder should be a file named config.xml.
4) Edit config.xml and make sure that it has the following:
Configuration Product="Standard" (or ProPlus)
PIDKEY Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" (use your actual serial key here)
Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"
/Configuration
Each of the above lines in the config.xml file should be between angled brackets, which unfortunately can't be shown here because the AppDB will not display anything between angled brackets. If you are unsure how it should look, see bug 30033 for an example with the brackets.
5) Save the config.xml file and run the installer..
Test reports that do not follow these guidelines will be rejected.

Office 2010's software protection(licence checker) needs winbind to run. Wine issues a warning for this saying ntlmauth is required, and it's in the distro's winbind package.
Winbind pulls in samba. So on debian, this activates an active directory(samba server) and netbios logon server.
Turns out these processes are nmbd(netbios server) and smbd(samba domain server).
I can stop and disable these processes and office excel, word, powerpoint and onenote will keep working.
You can disable the extra services that come with samba on systemd:
systemctl disable smbd nmbd samba-ad-dc winbind
systemctl stop smbd nmbd samba-ad-dc winbind
With sysv, replace it with:
service servicename disable and service servicename stop
I've used the following link as a baseline guide:
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885051
I've used wine 1.8.x from debian 8 backports instead.
Also this may be of interest for activation:
support.office.com/en-us/article/Activate-Office-2010-1fe7340c-50e2-458f-8677-f57f5a140f46
These are my notes:
What was needed:
* Wine 1.8 backports got activation working, 1.6 bitched about network errors
* Winbind to be installed
* Winetricks to install dotnet2, corefonts
* So for winetricks the code is: apt-get install winetricks -y;winetricks corefonts dotnet20
* Winecfg to set windows version to XP. Setting wine to windows 7 would make excel go about not enough memory errors
* Winecfg to set msxml6 to built-in, then native. Otherwise it seems word bitches about some xml templates being wrong
* There was a dropdown menu in Word that wouldn't appear on the phone activation screen. This prevented me from finding out the phone number plus entering a confirmation number.
* Winecfg to set riched20 and gdiplus to native. Setting these and restarting word let me select the country for phone activation and the confirmation entry field became OK.
* I had to call +44 1290 211 388 which is MSFT Toll free activation number.
* Went through a couple of options, then selected mobile
* Got an SMS with a bitly link
* Had to click through a couple of options then enter the installation I
