Re: Can I run MS Word XP from Ubuntu Dapper (KDE)



Hi,
When I myself have to write word documents I use openoffice. But I have some documents which require MS Word. The indentation is lost and this makes it tedious to read or edit the docs in Openoffice. I read some where that we can launch MS word in linux using wine. I tried that but it did not work. I personally use Openoffice. The docs that I have are not written by me and moreover it is to big to rewrite it again.

So could you please help me.

Saurabh.

Hi,
How can we run Microsoft Word XP from Ubuntu Dapper.

May I ask you what is wrong with OpenOffice.org/KOffice/AbiWord that
you need to use a privative, expensive, closed-source software like
Office?
