If that doesn't work try Windows 7.

I don't know of any legitimate version of Office 2007, cd or download from MS, that requires manual unzipping of anything to install.
dimesio - office pro as provided by work. have been using it under crossover without a prob, would rather it worked under wine( as well as using it to load on staff laptops) eps - thanks that was a silly mistake fr me to make.It now starts to load but get an error that the file is either corrupted or not available . I have got hold of an orginal office disk but get same error thanks rob
ok have looked about for this - and I have already got wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab in the correct place?

Follow the instructions in the link I gave you to run it from a real terminal, not the Wine cmd prompt. Copy and paste the text into a post. If the console output is very long, use pastebin.
