You can't run exe files in linux. There are two solutions, one is wine which makes it possible to use windows files in linux. Or you can try OpenOffice.org or StarOffice (since you're a student you can get a free education version)

My solution, find an alternative that is already loaded with Suse. If your only installing Suse or Linux to then install MS Office and other Windows programs, what's the point? Might as well just keep an existing install of Windows around.
