To use Crossover Office with Ubuntu Hoary, you will need the newest
version of Crossover Office 4.2. You will also need to hack the menu.
See:

DOM95 is the basic engine allowing you to install Microsoft applications.

Corssover Office 4.2 costs $39 and includes both the Office and
Plugins - which made the whole thing $100 in the old days.
