In addition to Philippe's answer I installed the following from winetricks:

msftedit

riched20

riched30

riched32

vb6run

That solved the PowerPoint "not enough memory or system resources" issue and black fields issue

Install Office 2013 pro 32bit

This solution is tested on Ubuntu 17.10 with wine 2.0.2.

Required Dependencies

We need a clean 32bit wine prefix and some packages.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt update

sudo apt install cabextract fonts-liberation winbind wine wine32 wine-gecko2.21

• 32bit wine installation


• 
  winbind for some samba functions


• 
  geckofor internet content popups


• 
  cabextract and wget for downloading corefonts through winetricks


• 
  fonts-liberation for the free alternatives to Arial etc.

Note that I also recommend wine-3.0 due to its DirectX11 Support. To install, use

wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

sudo apt-key add Release.key

sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'



sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine-stable winehq-stable 

Installation Process

The recipie is now upstream on winetricks. We need a clean 32bit prefix for it. If you do not have one, prepend WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.wine-office2013pro" to the wine commands.

First get the newest winetricks:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks -O ~/Downloads/winetricks

chmod u+x ~/Downloads/winetricks

and then use the recipie on a 32bit wine prefix.

WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot

~/Downloads/winetricks office2013pro

First start

The installed desktop files are located in

~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Microsoft Office 2013

There should be a welcome messages that connects to the internet (only on wine-3.0) and lets you activate the product.

• Microsoft Word 2013 will start fine. Although, there are certainly some bugs in it.




• Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has some unresolved issues like the black slides. Sometimes it also refuses to start at first. If so, do not press reboot when asked, as it will exit wine.

Product Activaton

On wine-3.0 activation is possible over the internet.

On wine-2.0the product can be activated via telephone. The phone number is found here. For us, it is 866-421-7141

Okay friends! Here's my answer!

This question was originally asked in 2017-02-03. In 2018-02-17 we already have newer versions of wine.

I posted this answer because I believe it is a solution accessible to more people.

Below is a script for use with PlayOnLinux ( https://www.playonlinux.com/en/ ). It was based on a script created originally by Quentin Pâris (thanks guy! =D ).

To do the installation we need the following resources: wine, winetricks, winbind and playonlinux.

NOTE: winetricks and winbind are usually installed along with wine. To test if they are present use the commands winetricks -V and wbinfo -V respectively!

With contributions from @Naheel and @Philippe .

TO USE THE SCRIPT:

Save the script below to a text file (eg: office2013.bash).

Start PlayOnLinux, open the script file above...

... , run it...

... and follow the on-screen instructions.

As a complement to the other answers:

In Kubuntu 18.04 THIS answer (the one involving the Playonlinux script) worked for me - out of the box so to speak.

But then in Lubuntu 18.10 it stopped working for me. So, I tried the other answers, initially without much success. THIS answer helped me install the program, but without solving the "black screen" problem. Trying to fix that I stumbled into a bigger problem reported here.

Even after reinstalling Wine as indicated below, and successfully installing MSOffice again as in the linked answer, the black screen problem was present.

Then I noticed the comment made by @Kanchu thereunder, referring to the solution from THIS answer. Integrating the last two answers I was able to install successfully.

Here I am trying to sum up all the steps in a simple and clear manner.

• Install Wine 3.0 - I have done that from the software manager.




• Then: sudo apt install cabextract fonts-liberation winbind wine wine32

(in my case they were already installed)

• Downloading latest winetricks in ~/Downloads:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks -O ~/Downloads/winetricks

• Making it executable: chmod u+x ~/Downloads/winetricks



• 
  

  Anticipating the "black screen problem":

  
  
  
  
  
  • Started winetricks in ~/Downloads:
  
  
  
  

  WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

  
  

checked that riched20 msxml6 were installed, then followed the aforementioned procedure:

In Winetricks select Run regedit and wait for the Registry Editor
window to open. In the folder tree expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software
- Wine and create a new key in the Wine folder. To do so, right click, select new-->key and name it Direct3D. Now create new-->DWORD Value,
rename the file to MaxVersionGL and set the value data to 30002
(hexadecimal).

so that it looks like in that image.

(In fact I had forgotten about this step and have followed it only during the running of the last command listed below - before typing my password when asked to! - But it still worked in the end.)

The final commands:

WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot

~/Downloads/winetricks office2013pro

which download and install the program.
