linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Halo, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with MS Office 2007 in Wine 1.4. For some reason, I am unable to open any Excel files that are password protected. Unfortunately, I am forced to do this for work. Is there any way of getting past this? Thank you (Hardware)

The all-in-one guide is for you on how to create and recover the Excel 2007 password. As one of the member of MS Office 2007, Excel 2007 gains high evaluation. Meanwhile, with the complexity and confidentiality of data statistics, it is important to recover the Excel password when forgot or lost it.

Wine doesn't work 37 weeks 4 days ago

I have just downloaded wine-geko package and used it to install MS Excel and Powerpoint. However, not all of wine entries can be found in the menus.

I have an Excel 2007 excel sheet on windows machine and using Spreadsheet::XLSX I had written a script to read the excel sheet and was successful.

My requirement is I need to generate another excel sheet from the old excel 2007 sheet on unix machine.

Now is it possible to read the excel 2007 sheet on unix machine using Spreadsheet::XLSX module.

Experts, Could you please share your views on

MS Office WORD and WINE 1 year 10 weeks ago

Got a version of MS Office 2007 installed on my Windows partition. I am using WINE 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS (which has been upgraded here and there along the way).

I can use all the other MS Office appliations without any problems. Power Point, Excel, etc...

BUT - when I try to us Word it crashes. I can open it - and type - but anything else (trying to save, whatever) it will crash.

At my old job, we used an open-source, (IMO) secure method for managing network infrastructure, and other important hosts' passwords [with Keepass].

Preface: This is a howto, not a question.

Today, after beating my brains out trying to install Office 2007 with Wine 1.4 in Precise, I ended up resorting to using PlayOnLinux. What I learned about PlayOnLinux is that it makes installing things a dream, but it makes the general usability of those things an absolute nightmare.
