I dont recommend wine for anyone because theres a superior fork called "Crossover office" which essensially is wine but its made simple.
Get the 30day trial from
http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/cxoffice/ (theres a trial link on the left side of the page).
If however this program requires directx then you will need yet another fork of wine. a product called "WineX" which is basically Wine with DirectX capabilities. You get that from
www.transgaming.com. sorry. no trial. its $5 a month.
you can however download and compile your own from CVS for free.
