Hi there
if you need to use Office 2010 then you will need to install a Windows vm on your Linux OS -- I've messed around with WINE -- great idea but not really stable enough for a reliable "daily use" type of system.
If you don't want WINE or to install a Windows VM system you could try a product known as Cross Over Ties -- while this is WINE based it's reasonably stable --but it does cost a SMALL amount.
Note in any case you'll need an ms office 2010 (or 2007 / 2003) license too but I assume you have that anyway.
Here's the link for Cross over ties
Currently Office 2010 doesn't work, Office 2007 works reasonably well and office 2003 is prety well 100% OK.
If you just want MS office I'd install an XP VM -- this will be small portable and is obviously 100% compatable with the latest version of Office - Office 2010.
Compatibility - CodeWeavers
