Re: Mint 18 + WINE

"have you considered 'Open Office' or 'Libre Office' ? I have yet NOT seen anything (other than old MS Access stuff I used to do a decade-and-a-half ago) that requires a Microsoft product like 'Office'..."

As a Mint 18 user I run Libre Office and WPS Office, which has a better interface than Libre Office IMHO.

These both work fine as long as you have the MS fonts installed.

( sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer )

I also run Office 2010 via PlayOnLinux.

Print quality is good with Office and Libre but not quite as good with WPS on my system. I haven't tried Open office for some time.
