When Microsoft Office can't be open from its icons

sometimes we can't open installed Microsoft Office in Linux (usually in Linux Mint) by clicking its icons. There is a solution to solve this problem. We can use a script command using Text Editor or Notepad.
  1. Open the Text Editor/Notepad. 
  2. Make a script commad : "/home/(your computer name)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12/(an office application)"
        For example: the computer name is an
                              and the office application is Word
       "/home/an/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12/WINWORD.EXE"

  

    3. Save the script: file name.sh (word.sh) then place it in desktop
    4. Open the terminal and do as in the picture below:

                            cd Desktop => Enter
                            chmod 777 word.sh => Enter

    5. Close terminal, then double click at word.sh in desktop

    6. Click at Run
    7. Microsoft Word is ready to use.

We can do the same to activate other Microsoft Office applications (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
