Install Office 2013 Wine Ubuntu
Wine 2.0 incluye soporte para Microsoft Office 2013 y soporte para 64-bit en macOS, entre otras muchas novedades. How to Install Wine 2.0, Now Run Microsoft Office 2013 on Linux. This release represents over a year of development effort and around 6,600 individual changes. The main highlights are the support for Microsoft Office 2013, and the 64-bit support on macOS,better HiDPI scaling, for gamers Wine 2.0 implements, fixes of Direct3D.
Getting the installer Microsoft Office 2013 is what this tutorial will focus on. This is because Office 2016 does not work well with Wine. Go to this, make a Microsoft account (or log in), and download the Office 2013 program. Make sure to download only the 32-bit version, even if your system is 64-bit. Installing PlayOnLinux Using the to get Windows programs is not a difficult process. With enough effort and Wine tinkering, anyone can get a Windows program up and running on Linux. Though, for many new Linux users, Wine can be tedious and irritating to use without any direction. This is where PlayOnLinux comes in.
It is a “wine wrapper” and makes things easier. Basically it’s a tool that takes the underlying technology of Wine and adds some easy-to-use GUI tools for installing a myriad of Windows-based games and even programs (like MS Office). The PlayOnLinux tool is available in most modern Linux distribution package repositories. Install it by opening your package manager or software store and searching for “playonlinux” or from the terminal (in Ubuntu).
Sudo apt install playonlinux Using PlayOnLinux to install Microsoft Office Inside PlayOnLinux there are many different buttons and options. The only one that matters at the moment is the “Install” button. After you click it, what follows is a window with a search box. In the search area, type “Microsoft Office.” Searching for this term brings up several versions of Microsoft Office. Each result is an installation profile, and once the user clicks on one, PlayOnLinux will create a Wine environment and walk through the installation process.
Within the results, select “Microsoft Office 2013” and then the “Install” button. What follows is a warning that “this program is currently in testing.” This means that the PlayOnLinux profile for Office 2013 is under testing and may experience some hiccups. Select OK to continue. This brings up a Windows-like installation wizard.

Read the directions and select the “Next” button to be brought to the next part of the installer. PlayOnLinux asks the user to provide the installation file. Provide the installation program from where it was downloaded earlier in the tutorial or click the “Use DVD-ROM(s)” option, and install MS Office 2013 that way instead.
Once the install process starts, PlayOnLinux will set up a contained Wine environment and place Microsoft Office inside of it. From here, Microsoft Office will be accessible from the Linux desktop. Known issues with Office 2013 At times Office 2013 may fail to install. This is because the 64-bit version doesn’t work. For Office 2013 to work on Linux and Wine, the 32-bit version must be used. Additionally, the Office installer may fail to install with PlayOnLinux and even crash. This isn’t necessarily the fault of the Office installer and most likely a problem with the Office 2013 PlayOnLinux script that installs the program itself.
If this happens, it is best to just restart PlayOnLinux and try again. WineHQ Installing Windows programs on Linux is never a foolproof process. Issues often come up. This is why when using Wine, users should pay attention to It is a website that catalogs hundreds of Windows programs, how they work on Wine and how users can fix issues they may be having to get programs running correctly. Alternatives Though it is possible to get Microsoft Office running on Linux with the help of Wine, it is not the only way to use the Office Suite.
If you’ve had trouble getting any version of this office suite running, there is an alternative. For a while now Microsoft has had a Google Docs alternative known as Office 365. This program is not perfect and isn’t as good as its desktop counterpart. However, if this method of installing Microsoft Office has failed you, this is another option.
If Office 2013 and 365 has failed for you on Linux, and you’re looking for better alternatives, check out. It’s a well known Linux-first alternative to the Microsoft Office suite, and the developers work really hard to make it familiar and compatible with Microsoft technologies.
Additionally, there is, a suite that is designed to look much like Microsoft Office, and there is also. Along with all of this, here is a list of five free alternatives to (a note-taking app) and five good alternatives to. Conclusion Switching to Linux doesn’t mean you have to give up your Windows applications. The existence of Wine (and PlayonLinux) has made installing and using Windows applications (in this case, Microsoft Office 2013) very easy. Unless you really need some proprietary features that are specific to Microsoft Office, we do recommend you try out alternative office suites, like LibreOffice, as they are quite stable and capable as well. I have never tried to use Microsoft office in Linux. From my windows experience, MS Word has a big disadvantage: you can use only one font (Cambria) to write equations.
This problem is not present in Libre/Open office. WPS office is a great program with an impressive and lustrous UI, and the native Linux version works fine, but it has no equation editor. If you don’t need an equation editor, this is possibly the office application for you. I prefer Libre office both in Linux and in windows (which I use only when I have to) because its equation editor is much better than word’s, it can import MathML and Latex formulas etc.
With Libre office, I can write documents with almost the same quality as Latex. And my MS-office colleagues have never “suspected” that the documents they receive from me have been written with Libre. One of the major Achilles Heels to installing these Office programs for Linux is also trying to install the MS-Access database program. The standard MS Office 2013 has Word, Excel and Powerpoint by default. Sure, you can separately add on LO’s Base app or struggle to get MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB/MariaDB/whatever to play nicely with MS-Access’s native.mdb and specific-variant formats.
But even with these open source database management apps, something invariably will go wrong handling the databases you’ve already created in MS-Access.
Thank you for asking! This is tricky, and one of the main questions we have is how our users will expect to install Office 2013. So it's good to hear from someone who actually has the problem.
This is mostly a matter of the web-browser's user-agent as far as we know. I say 'mostly' because some versions of Office 365 appear to offer a Windows.exe download even when you log into office.com from a Linux browser without resetting the user-agent.
One thing we have done internally to work around this is to first install Firefox 45 from within CrossOver itself, then download an Office 2013 installer using that web browser. That way, office.com sees a windows user-agent and offers the correct installer for download. Note that when you do this, Firefox appears to save the resulting.exe in /Documents/Downloads by default. (This can make it difficult to find if you do not know where to look.) We considered embedding a browser component withing CrossOver's GUI and setting the user-agent string, just for this purpose. However, given that we saw variation and are not certain how real users will experience the install, we did not want to go that route right away.
However, feedback about whether this is a point of pain, and how much pain it causes, is important to us. In the meantime, does that help you get Office 2013 installed? Did you see the Office 2013 installer come up and guide you through the install process? CrossOver's software installer will hand the installation off to the Office installer, which will then download Office.
It should show you a progress indicator and display some GUI, but the install itself can take a while because of the downloadable content. Does any of that happen for you, or do you get no Office installer GUI at all? (There should be a couple of windows. The first one is mostly red and says something like 'getting ready.,' then the next is red text on a white background and shows a percent complete. The final one is also red on white, but larger and interactive. Any of that show for you? If not, we may want to move this to our bug tracker.
I've successfully installed Office 2013 via office.com using login details provided by my education center. After installing a user agent switcher and choosing Windows I logged in on office.com. Under the blue 'Install Office 2016' at the upper right I selected 'Other installs'. I was then forwarded to a new page where I scrolled to the bottom and expanded the item 'Install Office 365 ProPlus with the 2013 apps'. Then I selected my preferred language and downloaded a 32-bit version of Office 2013. My file was called 'Setup.X86.da-dkO365ProPlusRetail(.)TXPR.exe' (not an offline installer) and it installed without any issue in a beta release of CX16.

I also was able to install via the 'install options' on office.com - and you don't need to use a user agent switcher to get there. Just goto office.com, My Account, Install, Language and install options, additional install options, select Office 2013 32-bit, and click Install. It downloads the 32-bit Setup EXE.
The problem is that via that install method, even though everything seems to install ok, if I launch any Office 2013 app, the screen is black. Seemingly functional. But completely black. If instead, I install Office 2013 Pro direct from ISO. It installs perfectly, and works perfectly. But of course, the Office 365 license does not work with it. I've searched for a standalone Office 2013 Home + Business iso to try, but no luck so far.
Posted: The Office 2013 Pro install was from the crosstie install option. With just the setup.exe file, I wasn't able to use the crosstie. But perhaps i was doing something wrong. I just tried to mimic the bottle as far as installed applications/OS version go. The Crosstie should work with the Setup.exe installer also. Just search for 'Office 2013' in the CrossOver software installer search box and select the Office 2013 crosstie. Then in the step that asks you to select an installer, use the file picker to navigate to the Setup.exe installer you downloaded and it should go from there.
If you do that, does the resulting Office install work correctly? (And, if something in particular was difficult about using the crosstie with the setup.exe installer, I'd be interested to hear what that was. Maybe we can improve the process to make it easier.).

Ok, so I've gotten farther.
Because I first tried install with the mounted ISO (office 2013 pro), next time i tried, it remembered the ISO mount, and at first, I didn't see how to change it. You have to kinda unwind installation options, and re-select install option and then setup.exe file.
No more black screen. BUT, it doesn't seem to activate properly. I get the dialogs for activating, I sign in and I have available licenses - it seems to go ok, and then I get 'Microsoft Activation Wizard' that keeps popping up. If i try to activate again, it says generic 'problem occurred' message, and I have to cancel out. I've exited and restarted a few times. Same problem keeps happening.
Also, I can open existing documents, but not create new ones. Perhaps this is due to the licensing issue though. If i try to create a document, I get 'Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.' Which I know isn't the actual problem.
Posted: OK, solved it. I closed all crossover windows. And killed any remaining wine processes (wineserver and winedevice.exe). Then I restarted crossover.
And now the activation seems to have taken. And I can create new docs too. Thanks for your assistance. Great work by the CrossOver team! I was about to forward this to our ticket system, but it sounds like you're up and running.
I'm glad to hear it! I'm not sure what the issue with needing to kill wine processes by hand was.
We may still have an issue here to track down. We'll keep an eye out for that, but for now, I'm happy it works for you. Thanks for your persistence and your responses: it's helpful to know how things are working for our customers in the real world. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I attempted to install Office 2013 with crosstie and I get an error message that says 'An error occurred while installing Microsoft Office 2013' 'The installer has exited but Microsoft Office 2013 does not seem to be installed'. Cockos forums. I have the option to Try Again, Skip This Step, and Cancel Installation. It won't install.
I also have an educator account and use Office 365. Once I'm logged into Office 365, I click on Settings / Software - Install Software and then I get a screen that says 'You can only install office on PC or Mac' and do not have the option to download the link. What am I doing wrong? I haven't tried the iso.option because that would mean I would have to purchase a copy when I could get it for free. Hi SilverHawk, I think our support staff sent you a follow-up to a ticket I opened from this thread on December 15th.
Have you tried following back up with them? Some users are encountering actual bugs, but in this case I think we may be able to help you get it working. For what it's worth, the problem of the Microsoft website telling you that you can't install except on Mac or PC is a known issue. Not all accounts appear to hit it, but if you do, you can work around it by installing FireFox 45 using CrossOver. Then navigate to your home directory/Documents/Downloads, and the.exe installer you downloaded will be there. However, I think it would be easier to troubleshoot in our ticket system as opposed to this forum. I see two open tickets - you can respond to either one.
Regards, Josh. Posted: Yes, I had tried the installing Firefox 45 from Crossover and installing it that way. It did allow me to download the file but did not install. I'll try it again today. This sounds like something we'd want to look into. Posted: I deleted the ticket emails because I thought I would get a better response in this forum. Could they resend the emails or is there a way I can see the tickets in my account?
I'll re-send email from one of the tickets (the two tickets are quite similar, so not much need to duplicate). You're welcome to pursue whichever avenue you like and it's certainly possible someone in the forums will give you the answer that does the trick for you. For an issue like this, though, our ticket system is easier for us in that it allows us to track your individual issue and possibly gather logs, etc. In the case that we need to file a bug.
