I am getting problem in opening MS office file in my linux system

When i try to open the file, then i gets an error message

How can i open and edit this file ?

Hi,

what did you try to "open" the file with? Do you have openoffice.org, libreoffice, abiword, etc installed?

Evo2.

PS. It looks like you are running X as root... but that is for another thread.

I think open office not installed in your linux
check #rpm -qa *open-office*

OK

So how can i install it ?

Thanks

We do not know what distro you are using. So it is good to give you this link.
Download it and install.

http://www.openoffice.org/download/

Fedora, Redhat EL6, CentOS 6 :
# yum install libreoffice-core libreoffice-writer

Backtrack 5 : apt-get install openoffice.org

Don't download direct from that link; get it from your distro's repositories.
As above, you tell us what it is, we'll tell you how.
try this to find your distro+version

Thanks for your help

Here is what i got

I am using backtrack 5 r2
