About Microsoft Office 2003

Microsoft Office 2003 (Professional Edition) represents a major upgrade to previous versions of the world's most popular suite of software applications. Office 2003 includes new and familiar products, features, and functionality that can help organizations and their employees connect to coworkers, information, and business processes quickly and effectively.

Advances in intranet collaboration through integration with the collaboration and information-sharing portal, Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, enable employees to access and share information both internally and externally. Support for information rights management (IRM) and industry-standard Extensible Markup Language (XML) provide a platform on which to quickly build cost-effective solutions that can have an immediate impact in your business and productivity.

This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

$ winecfg

Set a virtual desktop if you wish, this is also a good time to set your sound driver. You will also want to set richedit20.dll, richedit32.dll & msxml3.dll as navite (Windows)

Now install the richedit30 update, make sure you go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename richedit20.dll, richedit32.dll and msxml3.dll to *.bak or the updates wont work properly.

tom@tom:~$ wine richedit30.exe
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
tom@tom:~$




Install Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML)

Download it and and cd to the directory where you downloaded msxml3.msi, then run:

$ msiexec /i msxml3.msi









You might need to mount your Office 2003 CD with the option -o unhide. This will avoid having problems with hidden files during installation.

mount -t iso9660 -o unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0

tom@tom:~$ cd /media/cdrom0
tom@tom:/media/cdrom0$ wine setup
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.

The setup should now run without any errors and complete as successful.









Word 2003, Excel 2003 & PowerPoint 2003 first run.

Word 2003

tom@tuxonfire ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11 $ wine winword
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8202 (SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE)
fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE
fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x1004a, 0x157f60): stub






Excel 2003

If Excel locks up when you select a data table and a error is printed in your terminal as.

fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x10062, 0x136c78): stub

You will need to install a native imm32.dll from Windows and set Excel to use it. Make sure to set imm32.dll only for Excel by adding a application in winecfg EXCEL.EXE and then select EXCEL.EXE and go to the Libraries tab and add imm32.dll as native/builtin.




tom@tuxonfire ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11 $ wine excel
fixme:win:User32InitializeImmEntryTable (0x19650412): stub
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33d720,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE

Excel sheet in NTFS partition Ronaldo 2008-08-15 15:44:27 Hello, I have Office 2003 working. But I can't open excel spreadsheets that are in my NTFS partition. If I copy them to my linux partition everything goes fine. I can open Msword an Powerpoint documents that are in the NTFS partition. Why does the problem only occur with Excel? When I try to open a shhet that is in the NTFS partition, I get a message that excel couldn't find the file. Reply | Quote 0   0

There are two ways you can fix this. 1. by editing the menu shortcut to Excel and make sure the "Command" has the following code: env WINEPREFIX="/home/nick/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" "`winepath -w "$@"`" 2. by making sh scripts in your ~/bin folder. ie excel and have the following code: #!/bin/bash wine "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\EXCEL.EXE" "`winepath -w "$@"`" similarly you can do the same for powerpoint and winword. #!/bin/bash wine "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\POWERPNT.EXE" ; "`winepath -w "$@"`" #!/bin/bash wine "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\WINWORD.EXE" "`winepath -w "$@"`" I prefer both methods by the way.
