Running Microsoft Office Under Ubuntu

  • Keir Thomas

Abstract

The title of this chapter might sound somewhat strange. How can a Windows program be run under Linux? The answer comes courtesy of the Wine project and the set of add-on programs it offers for Linux. Wine is an acronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator, which is a way of saying that the Wine software doesn’t emulate Windows but instead re-creates certain parts of it called the Application Programming Interface (API).
