This manual refers to Linux Mint 16, kernel 3.11, Wine 1.7.11 and Office 2010!
How to do it the easiest way:
1. install python-software-properties package
> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
2. add Wine repository
> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
> sudo apt-get update
3. install Wine package
> sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks
4. install winbind package - without it Office setup fails
> sudo apt-get install winbind
5. setup variables for Wine
> export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_office_2010
> export WINEARCH=win32
of course you can set another folder as WINEPREFIX
