Hi,

An application I am porting from win64 to RHEL 64 has huge use of MS-Office (Word power point Excel).
We have 3/4 phases of porting with porting method being rewrite of WINAPI using Sysmtem calls/API of RHEL 64.
***Its not we discovered now we knew it since day 1.

Solution was on backburner I have did googled some ways I found are
1) LIBWINE or WINE: We don't want to use this as performance might effect. Not sure about WINE Performance.
2) Should I replace of OpenOffice: Issue here is OpenOffice is not fully compatible with MS-Office.

Question: If somebody did this please let me know how to solve the same?

Thanks in Advance,
AeeB

Since you cannot run MS Office natively you will have to use Wine or another method (possibly Crossover by codeweavers which is commercial so there is a cost) to run the windows software. Not much of a way around that one.

As for OpenOffice or LibreOffice both have pretty good compatibility. Not sure how complex the tasks you are doing but it could be worth a go. Always better to use native apps whenn you can.
