How to use microsoft office on Ubuntu?

Want to use microsoft office on Ubuntu
Try PlayOnLinux

The following tutorial works in Ubuntu
Download PlayOnLinux using the commands:

    wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list -O    
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install playonlinux


    Click **Install**.
















Search for the Microsoft Office version you want to install (in our case, it's **MS Office 2010**).


Click **Install**.

















Click **Next**.

















Choose **Other**. I'll assume that you have your MS Office 2010 CD.

Insert your CD and type `/media/cdrom` in the blank space. Replace `cdrom` with the name of the CD. Then click next and MS Office 2010 will be installed!

Although you can install MS Office, I recommend using LibreOffice (which is installed by default).  It's a free Office Suite that is compatible with all your office files.
