https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+question/57776

lunch proposed the following answer:
Thinstalled Portable Ms ( Microsoft ) Office 2003 Pro SP3 runs in Ubuntu
9.04 Jaunty

After installing wine software in Ubuntu 9.04 ( www.ubuntu.com ), right click office2003.exe (181 MB) file downloaded from
minnova org com 2450754
http://www.mininova.org/com/2450754
and select Open with wine.

Small "loading Start.exe" screen appears in lower right corner. A small
button like icon appears in top right corner and right click that to
open word / excel / powerpoint. Home folder is automatically considered
as My Documents.

The following setting is needed for Word to start and close without
showing any error about Normal.dot file. After opening Word, select
Tools, Options, File Locations, User templates, Modify. Then select My
Documents and click OK.

After exiting Word / Excel / Powerpoint, right click the button like
icon that appears in top right corner and select "Exit Office", so that
Word / Excel / Powerpoint can be run once again without any error
message.
