- | In Part 7 of this series, we looked at running Windows programs in Linux using Wine or Play on Linux. The primary example was installing my copy of Office 2010 which has a top-rated Platinum ranking in the Wine AppDB listings. In this same database, Office 2016 rates as Gold and so is eminently usable. However, Office 365, which is the current release of Microsoft’s office suite, is listed as Garbage – which means that it can’t be installed and run in Linux. But, what about the web apps? For example, can we run Word 365 as a web-based application in a Linux browser?

One major problem that I have with Microsoft 365 is that it doesn’t allow me to open, edit, and save files stored in my preferred folder on my local hard disk, ie, it does not offer the usual File-Open and File-Save options. Rather, it tries to insist that files should be accessed from Microsoft OneDrive. It is possible to upload a file from a local drive, edit the file in Word 365, and then download the resulting file back to local storage but this is a very cumbersome process. | One major problem that I have with Microsoft 365 is that it doesn’t allow me to open, edit, and save files stored in my preferred folder on my local hard disk, ie, it does not offer the usual File-Open and File-Save options.

While the instructions are correct, some users (me!) may find their implementation confusing. The highlighted URL calls up the web page for Microsoft’s OneDrive Login Service. At this point, it is clear that it is necessary to log in and that the user’s login credentials (username and password) are to be entered. However, once this has been done, at first glance, the result appears to be a blank page. But what has actually happened is that the URL in the address bar has changed. This is by no means obvious. However, it is important to note that this is the “response URI” that is to be cut and pasted from the browser’s address bar into the Terminal window *. With the pasted URL having been accepted, the Terminal window now indicates that The application has been successfully authorised. | While the instructions are correct, some users (me!) may find their implementation confusing.

+ | **Normally, when OneDriveGUI is started, the application scans the two folders and automatically synchronizes the files present in both. By default, this is a two-way process, with new and modified files being copied between the folders, and files that have been deleted in one folder being removed from the other folder. This behaviour can be customized through an extensive set of options in the profile. If OneDriveGUI is left running, the application continues to monitor the folder pair and will copy or delete files according to the established profile. | ||
