You need to install WINE in Linux environment.
Once you insatll WINE, you can install any MS OS in Linux and software as well.
Here is the link to download s/w.

there are other options for running windows apps, win4lin being one.
that is a commercial option so it may not fit your needs.
trying to remember where the discussion I saw that had seven or 8 different choices listed with descriptions of bugs foreach, including wine and win4lin...think it was on mandrake users forum.
