Video Tutorial:

Prerequisite:

Bottles installed by Flatpak

Permissions:

1. Download WINE Runner:

mkdir -p ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/runners/pol-8.2 && \
wget https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/binaries/phoenicis/upstream-linux-x86/PlayOnLinux-wine-8.2-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz \
-O /tmp/PlayOnLinux-wine-8.2-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz && \
tar -xz -C ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/runners/pol-8.2 --strip-components=1 \
-f /tmp/PlayOnLinux-wine-8.2-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz && \
rm /tmp/PlayOnLinux-wine-8.2-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz

2. Create a new bottle using Bottles named office2010
3. Environment Custom.
4. From Custom Runner: pol-8.2. Architecture: 32-bit.
5. Configaration: Select office2010.yml.
6. Click Create.

Unfortunately for some bug, DLL override doesn't get imported from yml. So, we do this manually.

7. From bottle office2010 -> Setting -> DLL Overrides -> add gdiplus & riched20.

8. That's it. Now install 32-bit version of MS Office 2010. Find the executable and run with Bottles.
