Microsoft office

Question

I'm new user and I use linux ubuntu about one week. how can I install microsoft office on ubuntu? I see in web sites that I must install samba first but I can't install it. thanks for your helping.

Answer 1

you can install WPS http://wps-community.org/ who's goal is to bridge the gap it does an infinitely better job than libre office which comes pre-packed with ubuntu which did a better job that open office before it.

(that being said both of them work fine too)

it is, to me, the best solution.

though honorable mentions are :

• running microsoft office through virtualbox
• google drive

also, yeah as Jos pointed out, samba has indeed absolutely nothing to do getting with microsoft office to run on ubuntu.
