CrossOver Linux 15 is a whole new ball game, it will come with Microsoft Office 2013 functionality, the beginnings of DirectX 10 and 11 support, a newly refreshed and modern Graphical User Interface (GUI) and incorporate just over a full years worth of Wine from WineHQ changes into the release. And most likely will ship with the upcoming Wine 1.8 stable release or a variant of that release.

I understand and agree with all your collective statements in this thread about why this is a stupid idea, I should use MS Windows if I want to use MS Office, LibreOffice is just fine, etc. I LIKE LibreOffice. But I'm between a rock and a hard place.
I'm disabled & retired (w/no financial resources, living only on Social Security, etc.), no longer have a Windows PC and only have a Linux box because someone gave it to me. I can no longer work in my lucrative, 30-year career so to earn some extra income, I want to try being a general transcriptionist. Trouble is the only audio/visual player that has the features I need is incompatible with LibreOffice Writer.
The AV software I need to use is Express Scribe, which runs fine using Wine. It allows you to redefine keyboard function keys for AV control - so you can keep your hands on the keyboard. Those f-key definitions will override -MS WORD's- while the AV file is playing so, again, you can keep your hands on the keyboard. Typing speed is paramount. But LibreOffice Writer isn't compatible with Express Scribe. (I've seen web pages for supposed Linux substitute software for Express Scribe but they don't work.)
I can't afford another computer so IF I'm to earn money as a transcriptionist - and it seems like the only viable option right now - I NEED to have MS Office (I still have the 2003 CDs) running in my Linux Mint environment - as offensive as that is to some of you. I've found all sorts of web pages for how to install it there but no joy. I would REALLY appreciate some help here.
