wine users - May 2009 - Kingsoft Office 2009

Hi, i am a newbie in linux.
may i know how to setup kingsoft office using wine so that it can run properly
in ubuntu?
cos i installed it and can run it, but the problem is i can't seems to open
a file and save file. Is there any extra setting needed to run it properly?

I used this version of kingsoft office :
http://download.famouswhy.com/kingsoft_office_2009

i heard that kingsoft office was cross platform applications but it's not
working here. And i also heard that people can run MS office using wine and they
did make a howto but no people ever wrote about how to run kingsoft office in
linux before.

so can anybody here can help me solve my problem?? thanks in advance
Best regards

Well, only seems to run on various Windows versions, so not really cross
platform.

Since you seem to be happy to use a MS Office compatible office suite,
I'd suggest that you take a careful look at Open Office, since that
should be preinstalled on Ubuntu. I'm using OO 3.0.1 with Fedora 10 and
have yet to meet a MS Office file it can't handle. Its even OK with
really old (MS Word 5 for DOS) files.

If it meets your needs that will save you the time and effort of
installing either Kingsoft or MS Office under Wine.

The problem is openoffice are not fully compatible to microsoft office files, i
mean the margin, setting, etc. And my files mostly was ms office setting. It
messed up quite a bit, in OO.o writer i have to do whole things from scratch
(setting the margin, the font type, etc). This freaked me out.

So i m trying an alternative applications n i found the most suitable one is
kingsoft office, but sadly it wont run on linux. Basically can run but can't
open file nor save file, maybe someday wine maker or developer will make it run
on linux so that it can helps those who migrate from microsoft office.
