Installing Office 2010 in wine 1.8 is very easy, quite straightforward:

The only prerequisite apparently is to use a 32-bit prefix (similar to Office 2010).
Oh wow, now this really is interesting! I might try it tomorrow. Currently i use WPS Office for Linux, being a very near analogue of MS Office 2010 [aka, ripoff, maybe], but it appears that they might have now abandoned the Linux version, so current bugs & omissions probably will never be fixed[?]. During my long transition period from Windows to Linux a few years ago i tried many possible Linux alternatives to MS Office 2010 [leading eventually to WPS], but before that i experimented with trying to run MS Office in Linux via Wine & then PlayOnLinux, but they were mostly disastrous [your Wine procedure is waaaaaaay more intricate than i tried, so no doubt that's why mine failed].
I don't have an ISO for MS Office 2010 though, only its original installation cd [dvd?], so maybe i can't use your method?
Using the original cd (dvd) is absolutely ok - the same approach works with it as well, just instead of mounting the iso, you insert the disc into the drive
