Your options (may be incomplete):
1) Install OpenOffice.org. It opens and saves MS Office documents in principle but chances are it may not open your documents correctly. You can always test with the Windows version of OpenOffice.org first. If it is okay on Windows, it is most likely okay on Linux. Do install the latest version 2.x but not 1.x.

2) Use some emulation software like VMWare or Xen and run your Windows and MS Office in it. I have no experience with this.

3) Run MS Office with Wine. Not necessarily work either.

I believe you can dig out some information by searching for "run MS Office on Linux" from Google.

CTRLALTDEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file. FILES
/etc/rc.local SEE ALSO
simpleinit(8), init(8) AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Linux 1.2 25 October 1993 CTRLALTDEL(8)
