[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1748220, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. There is no guarantee that WINE programs or their derivatives will be able to run Office 2016. I do know that "[URL="https://www.codeweavers.com/products"]CrossOver Mac[/URL]" (not free) is able to run the Windows version of Office 2010 and Office 2013, however, the Windows version of Office 2016 is not included in their list. You might give their support a call or email them and ask. The folks at Codeweavers are generally very responsive to support inquiries and they do have a trial version available. I would give that a go first. But if it should turn out not to be possible, your best bet then is to run Office 2016 for Windows in a virtual machine. VirtualBox from Oracle is free and will run Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 nicely. By the way, running Windows from a VM is NOT dual booting your Mac and is very easy to do. There are no reboots required and the VM can be suspended while you run other Mac programs. You will of course need a legal copy of Windows to install in order to run the Windows version of Office 2016. And if you subscribe to Office 365 you can download the Windows version of Office 2016 without having to pay an additional fee. [/QUOTE]
