WINE and MS Office

[Normand Marion]

If you want to use MS-Office you certainly have good reasons, but sometime
the installation could be tricky. A good place to get information is
https://www.winehq.org/.

Did you ever consider LibreOffice. Except for Access and some macro in
Excel, using LibreOffice is a good alternative and almost more reliable.
LibreOffice is compatible with almost every Office document.
