Re: [PLUG] Win Word through Wine

[Andrew Bennett <andrew@bennettsathome.com>]

If all else fails, you may want to check out CodeWeavers CrossOver
Office.  It is a Wine that has been specifically tweaked to run
Microsoft Office apps.  Note that it costs about $60.  However,
CodeWeavers does use some of that money to fund updates the GPL version
of Wine.
