Microsoft Office (installer only)

Applications cannot save files to a network share

Succesfully installed Office 2007 Enterprise, Word and, for basic and some advance stuff, Excel work too, but PPoint doesnt open, just keep in recovery. wine 4.0

I managed to successfully install Office 2007 once I saw that it works with Wine 3.13 on this page. I was given the options to let the installer install Mono and Gecko, and I chose to let the installer do so. My media was copied to a folder on my hard drive.

==Install 2014 update==

[[Install]] {{pkg|winetricks}}, {{pkg|wine_gecko}}, {{pkg|wine-mono}} and {{pkg|lib32-ncurses}}.

create a 32 bit wineprefix e.g. directory win32
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg
A pop up will appear, set it to Windows XP.
{{Note| Do not manually create the directory before running that command; Wine must create it.}}

Install msxml3
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks msxml3

Install office
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine /path/to/office2007image/setup.exe

Install SP
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine /path/to/office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe

Set riched20 to native
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg
Libraries -> add riched20 -> native

==Install==
{{Note| To work with JPG images (i.e. in PowerPoint) install {{ic|lib32-lcms}}.}}

The following has been reported to work, using wine-1.5.0. See these forum posts for details:

* bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138082
* bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86436

Or have a look at the install instructions on Wine's Application Database

*appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992

{{ Warning| You should never run Wine commands as root. Only run Wine as your user. }}

To get office 2007 working, install bin32-wine, winetricks. This is necessary if you are running a x64 Arch, but are using a 32bit Office installer

# pacman -S wine winetricks wine_gecko wine-mono

Then run:

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg

A pop up will appear, set it to Windows XP, then run: (this download is ~1gb so be prepared)

$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks msxml3 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1 allfonts

Mount the installation image, then run:

$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine /path/to/office2007image/setup.exe


To actually use any of the executables you must cd to the directory. IE:

$ cd ~/win32/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine ./EXCEL.EXE

You could set WINEPREFIX in your {{ic|.bash_profile}}, or make 32bit wine your default (then you only have to do {{ic|WINEARCH=win32 winecfg}}).
Two reported issues are accidentally emulating 64bit Windows instead of 32 bit and that the programs hang if you don't {{ic|cd}} into the directory, probably because the dlls are linked with the local directory.

===Office 2007 SP3===

To upgrade to Service Pack 3

Download from: www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27838

Install with:

WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe

===Office 2007 Fonts===

To install the Office 2007 Fonts, (this probably isn't necessary)

First download {{AUR|ttf-office-2007-fonts}} from the AUR

Change to the directory you will be building the package, then run

$ cabextract --filter *.TTF /path/to/office2007image/Enterprise.WW/EnterWW.cab

Then proceed to install the package as usual.

See [[MS Fonts]] for more details

===Winetricks===

The Droid, Lucida and Tahoma fonts will fail to download due to broken URLs or IP addresses. To fix these perform the following steps:

{{Note|''Both'' steps must be performed ''prior'' to installing the allfonts package using winetricks}}

====Droid fonts====

Edit the winetricks script:

sudoedit -w /usr/bin/winetricks

and search for {{ic|load_droid()}}

You should see this:

load_droid()

====Lucida and Tahoma fonts====

Attempts to download the Lucida and Tahoma fonts will time out due to a broken IP address.
Still in the winetricks script, search for {{ic|ftp_microsoft_com}} and replace

ftp_microsoft_com=64.4.17.176

with

ftp_microsoft_com=134.170.188.232

Save and exit, then install the fonts:

$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks allfonts

Talk page for article above:

I was able to set this up using the following instructions on the wiki (arch64 but a 32bit office). works fine for the most part. The only issue with this install guide is why are we download the win7 sp1 installer? I assume it's tied up with vcrun2005sp1 but I'm not sure why it's necessary - can anyone confirm? Lugubrious (talk) 10:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Is it necessary to download the 2007 fonts package from the aur if we're already installing it normally through wine? I've left it up there regardless Lugubrious (talk) 10:43, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. The provided official documentation does not work with Office 2007 SP2. The docs on this wiki page does work. Graysky (talk) 20:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I can confirm winewiki how-to does not work with SP3 as well. I installed it following these instructions in "Install" section, but also some packages was required: lib32-libwbclient, lib32-gnutls, lib32-libxml2, samba, lib32-libxslt. I can't say if they all are necessary, but some of them prevent installer from most of errors. In other case some dlls hadn't been installed though installer exited clearly. --Jqrsd (talk) 09:10, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I have no intention of moving any of this to the Howto here and have no idea why you bothered to copy and paste information that is obviously years out of date: the reference to wine-1.5.0 alone should have told you that. The URLs in current winetricks are up-to-date, and not what is in your post, but if they weren't, the proper place to report the problem is at winetricks.org, not here. Finally, distro-specific instructions do not belong here; our howtos must be generic enough to work for all distros.

Sorry for that. You can remove whole thread as it has nothing useful then.
