Earlier, you said:

Installing Office 2010 in wine 1.8 is very easy

I've just realised that the installed Wine in Maui 17.03 is v1.6.2 not 1.8. Can i correctly intuit then that you're actually advocating i not use this installed version, but would need to find & install v1.8 before embarking on your MS Office procedure?

Now, a tinfoil-hat question. Would you pls comment on this rather strident anti-Wine opinion? ... https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/wine

If indeed my personal files might be vulnerable via using Wine, i wonder if confining Wine for MS Office within the FireJail sandbox might be viable? I already like & use FireJail for a great many of my pgms anyway. So maybe this might work, once i'd performed your initial setup? ...

Code:

firejail wine program.exe

[wherein obviously i'd use the actual .exe filename for Word, Excel, PP respectively].
