I just installed Microsoft Office 2007 using PlayOnLinux (a Wine's front end), and it installed successfully, the only problem is that I can't enter the serial number, becouse the text box will not get focus.

Any one had experienced this? Any idea how to solve?

If you have Wine as well as PlayOnLinux, here's what you do:

  • Go to your Wine's system32 directory (~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32) and rename riched20.dll and riched32.dll so that they're backed up.
  • Download RichEdit30.exe (I got it from here or here) and save it to that same system32 directory.
  • Run "wine richedit30.exe" and button through the dialogue.
  • There should now be two new riched20.dll and riched32.dll files there.
  • Copy those two files to your PlayOnLinux system32 directory for Office 2007 (should be at ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007/drive_c/windows/system32)
  • Run one of the Office programs and you should now be able to enter the Product Key.
