Microsoft Office 2007

Cannot install the SP3 version.

Fixed it by using Wine 7.0

The only thing that does not work and can be improved as far as I know is switching between multiple windows. I noticed this when I rendered consolidation of multiple files.
 

Option to select the .exe install file
Add icons in your application launcher, in the Office category
Fixed bug that happens to some users when trying to open files directly

I've updated the installer.

It should:

• Install MS Office 2007 also on Ubuntu 18.04 (which the original official version doesn't).
• Install .desktop files that integrate with the installed applications list and right-click/properties so e.g. .doc(x) files can be opened with MS Word without too much hassle.
• Copy in the required fonts for word, so that smilies and bullet lists work out of the box.

It can also be found as on github as pmorch/PlayOnLinux-MSOffice2007.

I have recently installed playonlinux on Fedora 28 and tried to install my Microsoft Office 2007 but I keep getting errors from wine that I can not pull up and I am missing some fonts that I can not seem to find anywhere. Office installs right but will not boot and I can not watch the installation of office. My version of Office 2007 is configured to self install when launched not sure if that makes a difference. I have not found a work around that works so far and would really prefer not to have to pay for Crossover

I have been using MSOffice 2007 with POL on Ubuntu Studio 16.04 without any issues (Word, Excel and Ppt). Recently upgraded to Ubuntu Studio 18.04 and tried to install MS Office via POL. Selected Office from the list and noticed that it was defaulting to wine 1.6.2 but the installation was problematic - screens without any contents etc.

Then I used the 'Instal unlisted program' option and picked the wine system version ( which I understand is version 3 ) and the installation went off without any problems.

I can use Word and Excel without any issues but Powerpoint fails to start with an error

Hello,

      It was very easy to install Microsoft Office 2007. One of the issues that I faced was making microsoft word and excel as default programs when opening files. I was able to solve the problem using a terminal command found on an ubuntu forum. I just wish to ask if the command can be included in the original installation script so that all word excel files are opened by default in MS Word/Excel.

Thanks & regards

Works very good w/ wine 1.6.2.

Also VISIO is fine.

Much faster program startup than Office 2010, which also works very well.

Installation was no hassle, SP3 can be installed easily via Configure -> Run .exe.

However all the programs could not find any printers from Cups on Ubuntu 16.04.

This can be solved by using a new Wine version, 1.9.x went fine for me.

Maybe we can fix this upstream?

May be it's an old Office version by now and no change in this script since longtime but let me give some feedback.

it installed fine with an error in downloading windows XP SP3 "windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu_c81472f7eeea2eca421e116cd4c03e2300ebfde4.exe" from windowsupdate server, which always fail.

I suggest to use different server for same file like majorgeeks.com for example.

also if installing IE8 optional windows components, MS Publisher 2007 works.

... however, I was never able to install any Service Pack after Office 2007 instalation. I did manage to create a ISO with SP3 integrated and, using the "Install a non-listed program" option, I used the latest stable 32 bit WINE version (1.6.2, to date). Up 'till now, just by changing the WINE version, I managed to successfully install Office 2007 AND Service Pack 3 AND  pt-pt Language Pack in 4 diferent PCs. And even Excel macros are up and runnin'...

Wouldn't it be possible to update this script so as to install WINE ver. 1.6.2, or, at the very least, to give the user a choice as to which WINE version he/she wants to install?

Sorry if this question is a bit lame, but I'm an absolute noobie in Linux and PoL.

More importantly,  keep up with the good work, Quentin Pâris!!!
