Reason: pacman commands, "sudo nano", etc., see Help:Style (Discuss in Talk:Microsoft Office 2007#)

## Install 2014 update

    # pacman -S wine winetricks wine_gecko wine-mono lib32-ncurses

create a 32 bit wineprefix e.g. directory win32

    $ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg

A pop up will appear, set it to Windows XP.

Note: Do not manually create the directory before running that command; Wine must create it.

Install msxml3

    $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks msxml3

Install office

    $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine /path/to/office2007image/setup.exe

Install SP

    $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine /path/to/office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe

Set riched20 to native

    $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg

Libraries -> add riched20 -> native

## 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-fontsAUR 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, Lucida and Tahoma fonts will fail to download due to broken URLs or IP addresses. To fix these perform the following steps:

Note: Both steps must be performed prior to installing the allfonts package using winetricks

#### Droid fonts

Edit the winetricks script:

    sudo nano -w /usr/bin/winetricks

and search for `load_droid()`

You should see this:

    load_droid()

#### Lucida and Tahoma fonts

Attempts to download the Lucida and Tahoma fonts will time out due to a broken IP address. Still in the winetricks script, search for `ftp_microsoft_com` and replace

    ftp_microsoft_com=64.4.17.176

with

    ftp_microsoft_com=134.170.188.232

Save and exit, then install the fonts:

    $ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks allfonts
