PlayOnLinux takes care of it for you. Office 2013 supposedly works very well, Office 2016 can be sometimes buggy. For the 2016 version you need to get the 32 bit iso.
I’ve never seen any issues with it. People here used MS Office 2007 until like 2019. It should be fine as long as it supports docx and the document doesn’t have complicated scripts (which nobody uses here so can’t tell about them)
Still a bad idea. I didn’t say they didn’t work what I said is that it is a major security risk. There are people who still run Windows XP and it works for them. However, it is also a security risk.
I also saw someone on YouTube launching Word via wine so I guess it’s also an option
According to the official AppDB in winehq.org, getting this to work seems to be strongly dependent on the specific version.

I think I saw Word 2010 running. Idk about other versions
Probably, as this version is supposed to have platinum support.
2010 is EOL

That’s is a bad idea as the old Office doesn’t receive security patches
Do people even still target ancient versions?
Well this is true but again if you use MS apps, you probably should just use Windows
You’ll get no argument from me.
It’s always nice to see people that don’t want to argue
I still use Office 97 and 2000. Works fine for what I need

using it and using it successfully with others is a different story.
