# Microsoft Office 2007

## Install

Note: To work with JPG images (i.e. in PowerPoint) install `lib32-lcms`.

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

- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138082
- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86436

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

- http://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 `.bash_profile`, or make 32bit wine your default (then you only have to do `WINEARCH=win32 winecfg`). Two reported issues are accidentally emulating 64bit Windows instead of 32 bit and that the programs hang if you don't `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: http://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 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 font downloader in winetricks is broken. The URL is part of the google git project. Either the maintainer of winetricks will update or kernel.org will change. You can elect to remove the droid font install from the winetricks script.

    sudo nano -w /usr/bin/winetricks

Search for: do_droid You should see this:

    do_droid() {
        w_download ${DROID_URL}$1';hb=HEAD'   $3  $1
        w_try cp -f "$W_CACHE"/droid/$1 "$W_FONTSDIR_UNIX"
        w_register_font $1 "$2"
    }

    load_droid()
    {
