Absolutely! Office works much better on wine than windows. I know this because I run office 2000 at work. my workstation dual boots win 2000 and Mandrake Linux 9.1. when in windows office works only 25% of the time and locks up often. In Linux
never a single problem of hicup. Word , Excel whatever always just works!!! gotta love wine!
