similar to: Scripting Microsoft Office on Linux via Wine

Hello Boys and Girls and Everybody. I have recently started using a Macintosh computer to replace the dinosaur of an unbelievably unreliable PC that I have been using for the last 10 years. So far I have been very pleased. I have been using OpenOffice for quite a while now as I find it is mostly superior to Microsoft Office in many ways, HOWEVER - OpenOffice lacks the Voice Recognition Software

Hi, i'm just starting with Linux, and by ny job I have to program in Fortran, and I use Microsoft Fortran Powerstation (an IDE) because of its integrated IMSL library. Now I tried to run it from Linux simply with the command wine msdev.exe, and the first time it worked. After that when the window starts to open another window opens with the title "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. Excel opens but, sticks at the splash screen till I press Alt+F4 to close the application because nothing responds except the minimize and maximize buttons and the menus. Once the splash screen disappears then Excel opens a spreadsheet. Excel appears to work okay the next time I open it. When I try Access I get a message saying Excel has not been registered

Dear Duncan and other R users, The department in which I work will soon make some decisions to improve our reporting. Since I hope that our solution will support R and Sweave-like functionality (otherwise it wouldn't be an improvement....), I hope it's ok to repeat my question back from June if there are any news on an odfWeave-like package for weaving Microsoft Word documents? (in the

I was using the beta version of Open Office on Windows for... I don't know how long, but many months now. I quite like it and would like to replace the current stable 1.1 build of OpenOffice that came with CentOS with the beta. So i downloaded the RPMs from the OpenOffice site and dutifully followed their installation instructions, and it went well. I think. I mean, there were no errors

I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1. When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of Transaction Check Errors. I then removed openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch which was in the errors. Here's the

1. I have used gdata::read.xls() with much happiness. But every now and then it breaks. I have not, as yet, been able to construct a mental model about the class of .xls files for which it works. Does someone have a simple rule for predicting the circumstances under which it will work? 2. Just like there is a read.xls(), it'd be great if we have a read.ods() which directly

I have a specialist piece of scientific software that I am trying to get to run in WINE (0.9.59 running in Ubuntu 8.04). I have installed the software, but when I run it I get a message saying "Microsoft Scripting needs to be installed. Please install the latest version of Internet Explorer." Any ideas what to do?

I have been unable to install Microsoft Office 2000 under wine on several Fedora Linux machines. The problem seemed to start with the June 2004 release of wine and has persisted for every version I have tried up to and including the latest 12/01/2004 version. I have tried both RPM install and compiling from source with similar results. I have one machine running the May 2004 wine that

Hi all, I'm trying to write up some recommendations for what graphics formats are most useful for inclusion into ms office and openoffice. There have been a few discussions on the list in the past, but I haven't seen a summary. These are the options I've seen so far, along with there costs and benefits: * high-resolution (600-dpi) png output (or tiff or jpg or other raster

Howdy BSD/Solaris/OS X'ers, A lot of progress has been made fixing the conformance tests for Wine, but unfortunately, most of this progress has only been made on the Linux end. Most developers are using some form of Linux, so BSD/Solaris/OS X haven't seen their pass rate increase. But you can help! For more info, see: http://wiki.winehq.org/ConformanceTests But for the short version: 1.

-cross posted to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine- Microsoft should consider producing "Windows for Linux". It could be their own version of Wine, but it would be nearly 100% compatible with the latest version of Windows. Microsoft could require that users have a retail copy of Windows to make this work. It's a win-win situation. Linux users could run nearly all of the available

I have windows application wich use OLE Automatization to fill-in OpenOffice document It's create OleObject like OpenOffice := CreateOleObject('com.sun.star.ServiceManager'); And then use it.

Wine is not ready for prime time former windows users. Office 2003 can be installed, but daily use of the application continues to face multiple error or simply dead space. Linux may be free for your pocketbook but not your time.

Hi All, I'm considering installing MS office on my 64bit Fedora 14 laptop and I'm looking for a bit of advice.

Hi! We will start on writing an automated install script for Trados on spare time, Friday next week. Up to then I have to prepared the script *in a way that a developer will understand what I want* and being responsible for testing it under Linux. Basically it will be an automated script which will be timed, i.e. if no install_ok after 20 min, it would be hanging somewhere and will abort and

I am trying to use R2HTML (just downloaded from CRAN) to paste R (2.6.0) results output via the clipboard to OpenOffice Writer and Calc (version 2.3on WinXPPro) Pasting into Excel gives a formatted table of results (as expected), but pasting into Calc simply pastes the HTML code.
