[10:42] then sits and smirks [10:43] oh ty so i can bring my other keyboard back. this ones keys are too small [10:44] * Kilos throws a wet fish at inetpro [10:45] a vrot one [10:59] gotta be a vrot one otherwise he will just get fat on it [11:05] * inetpro catches the fish and launches it back to Kilos [11:05] Kilos: where are your notes from previous installations? [11:05] hi inetpro [11:05] hi Kilos [11:05] surely you have gone through this?

[11:08] unity thats why i asked fly. if the options button was there [11:09] then i would have installed kubuntu-desktop [11:09] hehe [11:09] the fly is not using unity [11:10] and what version of unity/ubuntu? [11:13] hey guys can i install office 2013 in ubuntu yet? [11:14] if not how do i install office 2010? [11:19] betabertus8899: why would you ever want to do that when MS doesn't want you to do it? [11:24] i need to complete work for university in ms format [11:24] if i work in libre will the result be good? [11:25] especially with excel and financial documents? [11:27] 14.04 ubuntu inetpro [11:28] hi betabertus8899 [11:28] hang around somwone will answer you as soon as he gets a break [11:30] test existing office documents in libreoffice and you will see what it can do i think [11:34] betabertus8899: it is really sad if universities in this day and age still expect work to be submitted in ms format when that is not an ISO standard [11:34] obviously depending on whether it is a MS course [11:34] hey yea bro [11:35] no it's not [11:35] just want to submit with all values working [11:35] working on your machine or on someone else windows machine? [11:36] if you have time then experiment [11:37] if I absolutely have to use MS Office I normally use it on a remote machine [11:38] sudo apt-get install libreoffice :p [11:38] running windows on a VM is also an option but I never go there [11:38] LO should be installed by default [11:38] yip comes installed [11:39] it's very rare that I need MS [11:48] my machine [11:49] well if its going to be viewed on your machine then libreoffice should be fine [11:49] i have ms office 2013 on a dual boot ubuntu 13.10 v windows 8.1 system. [11:50] but would like to go with ubuntu only, hence the install for ms office 2013 in ubuntu also [11:50] i love linux now, windows is just lacking in the most basic ways! [11:50] well if you have both then you can play around lekker [11:51] im not an office user but mine opens all windows documents i get just fine [11:51] if you would prefer to use ubuntu then do it and only go win if you fail to do something [11:55] yep [11:55] what do you use? [11:56] libre? [11:56] or open office? [11:56] libre when i need to do something [11:57] the easiest is to try get a document that is similar to what you want to do and open it with libreoffice and see [11:57] ok [11:58] does libre office docs open in word? [11:58] ms office i mean [11:58] like if i wrote in libre and save, will office open that? [11:58] lol i dunno about all that stuff. i just use what is installed to open things [11:59] ok [11:59] you need expert advice from someone that does lotsa office stuff [12:00] maybe superfly can point you in the right direction [12:00] the prob is you gotta be patient here as the guys are busy, so experiment while you wait [12:02] and see what google has to say about it [12:02] what type of document do you want to make? [12:07] betabertus8899: I have not done so but you might have luck with Office running under Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17336 [12:08] also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885051 and http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-2010-in-ubuntu-12-04-using-wine-1-5/ [12:21] ok great trying this all now [12:58] hi [12:58] hi theblazehen [13:17] wb betabertus8899 [13:17] you winning?
