has anyone had any luck getting msoffice, k12ltsp ver 4.2 and wine 
working together??
i tried downloading the lastest and greatest version of wine 
(wine-20050524-1frc3winehq.i386.rpm) but that didn't work. then i tried 
using the winetools to help me, removed wine-20050524 because winetools 
said that it won't work with that version of wine and installed 
wine-20041019-1fc2winehq.i386.rpm then xdialog-2.1.2-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm 
then winetools-2.1.2-jo.i386. when i run winetools the first part seems 
to go okay, the next part does'nt work because it can't download the 
arial fonts, (but i don't believe thats a show stopper), the next part 
it tries to download internet explorer 6.0, that work, it then tries to 
install internet explorer 6.0, that that part fails. wintools knows that 
it fails but does nothing except exit gracefully.
does anyone have a simple how-to on installing msoffice 2000. i need 
excel and word.
spending money is not an option (codeweaver).
yes i know openoffice is great, but i'm not the boss.
