Crossover Office Professsional will do the trick. <div>On 22/08/07, "Terrell Prudé Jr." <<a href="mailto:microman@cmosnetworks.com">microman@cmosnetworks.com </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Would CrossOver Office Server edition be an option? I know from past experience that MS Office 2000 does work on it for multiple users, and they make it quite easy to do the multiple-user apps thing (i. e. what you're trying to do). --TP <div>_______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div><div> Joe Korzeniewski wrote: <blockquote cite="http://mid46CAE4070200003C00001785@BCPSSMTP.battle-creek.k12.mi.us" type="cite"> <pre>Barry, Thanks for your reply. I followed your instructions (although they weren't too different than what I had tried before). Here's what happens. After I copied everything over to /wine and changed perms to 0755 I still couldn't get it to run (still tells me it isn't installed). I did kind of make it work by copying the *.reg files from /wine to ~/.wine but it kept giving me an error every time I started it. Did it just simply work for you or was there something else? I did already make the menu items by right clicking on the menu bar and clicking edit menu. Then I moved the .desktop files from my home directory to /usr/share/applications and copied the .config and .gconf folders to /etc/skel. They are pretty icons... but that doesn't mean much if they don't do anything :-D Thanks again, -Joe Joe Korzeniewski Network Administrator Battle Creek Public Schools p. 269-965-9667 c. 269-209-9677 </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre>Barry Cisna <a href="mailto:brcisna@eazylivin.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"><brcisna@eazylivin.net></a> 08/20/07 10:51 AM >>> </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre>Hi Joe, This is an easy fix for your Wine problem. Install your MS Officewxx ( and whatever other windows apps) as any user. Once you have all your windows apps installed make a directory named wine in the root of your HD. In Nautulis make sure your hidden files are shown ( temporarily). GO the user's home folder you installed the apps as [EX: userone] then copy the dosdevices and the and drive-c directories and the system, user,& userdef file as well to the wine directory. Make sure the permissions on all the these dir and files are 755. Now all users will have access to these:). Make a launcher on the desktop for each of the windows apps as root then push out by dragging to the "All users" folder on the root's desktop. The only downside to this is everyone ends up with all the MS Office launcher icons on their desktops. I don't know had to get them added into the start menu? Someone else on here ,I m sure can tell you how to do this to make this setup neater. This will work though as Ive tried this. Hope this helps.
