Note that the first few images are from myself, and the rest are from here since I don't have a MS Office 2010 CD. The following tutorial also works in Ubuntu 12.10. Download PlayOnLinux using the commands: Click Install. Search for the Microsoft Office version you want to install (in our case, it's MS Office 2010). Click Install. Click Next. Choose Other. I'll assume that you have your MS Office 2010 CD. Insert your CD and type /media/cdrom in the blank space. Replace cdrom with the name of the CD. Then click next and MS Office 2010 will be installed! Although you can install MS Office, I recommend using LibreOffice (which is installed by default).

Also don't forget to download and install the service pack 3.

5 thoughts on “ WordGrinder: Command-line Based Word Processor for Ubuntu Linux ”. I've played with Wordgrinder a bit, but I cannot get it to retrieve saved documents! Before I get to that, I did email the author the other day about escaping from the ESC menu without making a selection.
