How do I run Office 2010 on Ubuntu 14.04 under wine? While Libre Office opens many files not all are readable.

According to Wine HQ, neither the 64-bit or 32-bit of Office 2010 or Office 2013 can be run on Ubuntu. The 32-bit of 2010 will install, but will be unable to activate. The 64-bit version of 2010 won't even be able to install. Both editions of 2013 will have the same problem as 2010 64-bit. You either need to look for alternatives, such as Office 365 or make a Windows virtual machine.
EDIT:
It seems that there is a possibility to get Office 2010 running with Wine. You'll only get Word, Excel and PowerPoint, though. Follow this link at start at step 2: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885051
Office 2010 works fine under Wine as long as you install first "playonlinux" package.
- Install playonlinux
- start playonlinux
- install - office - office 2010
This should do it
