You MIGHT be able to configure MS Office to run under wine, but it's not 
easy, or likely to work reliably.  If you MUST have MS Office because 
OpenOffice or KOffice will not perform satisfactory to your demands, 
then I recommend you by CrossoverOffice, which is a commercial version 
of wine that is specifically designed to run MS Office.

I believe that it costs about $50.
