WINE and MS Office

[Christof Stocker]

Just as a sidenote concerning using MS Office on Linux.

I use MS Office 2007 (I own a copy) with "Play On Linux" (apt-get 
install playonlinux) on Xubuntu 14.04 and it works great [1][2]! Not 
sure about other versions though

Something the tutorials don't say: make sure you also install the 
Microsoft Fonts with "Play On linux", or your documents look weird
