I don't have either MS Office 2002 or MS Office 2007, but the following is supposed to work with 2007. It also seems to work as an alternative way of installing MS Office 97 if you tell winecfg you are using Win 98 rather than Vista (I tried it, but haven't tested the successful installation since).davids45 wrote: On the bad side, MS Office 2002 doesn't install for me, at least for the older wines.

I'm hoping this method might also work with ashampoo badged Softmaker Office 2008 too, but I haven't had time to download that yet:
I am using technosaurus's winlite_1.1.30.
Method From:

1. Install Wine
2. Select Applications>Wine>Configure Wine to bring the Wine Configuration dialog box. (EDIT - mcewanw: I used winecfg)
3. Select Windows Version as Windows Vista from the Applications Tab
4. Override two dll files rpcrt4.dll and msxml3.dll from Libraries tab. Override them to be Native (Windows)
5. Download rpcrt4.dll file. Click here http://www.mediafire.com/?njtut9aswdk and save it on your desktop.
6. Open the c_drive from Wine menu
7. Delete rpcrt4.dll and msxml3.dll files from Windows/System32 directory.
8. Copy the downloaded rpcrt4.dll file into Windows/System32 directory
9. Download msxml3.msi file from Microsoft download site (here is the direct link for your convenience).

10. Install msxml3.msi file from the Terminal window by issuing msiexec /i msxml3.msi
11. Double click on setup.exe file from your MS Office 2007 installation CD. If it doesn’t work just type wine setup.exe from the Terminal window.
12. Follow the normal installation procedures.
EDIT: Wine headquarters recommends the similar howto below as somewhat safer since it uses Crossover office's version of rpcrt4.dll rather than some unknown version:

EDIT: It may well be that on newer wine versions none of the above junk is actually required. Indeed, I've now tried installing office 97 without dcom98 or the above and it seems to install if I tell winecfg to use the native wine version of rpcrt4.dll (I thought it would use that automatically by default, but still I needed to tell it!)
