Have you tried other options like AbiWord and KOffice? I just read somewhere (probably linmagazine or whatsup) that the new version of AbiWord is even better at supporting latest MS formats. Also have you checked crossover office support? I think it's a bit ahead of the plain WINE project and doesn't cost to much (actually was given for free in a sale about a month ago). Also worst case if you must access MSO then another option is to run Windows in a VMWare.
