Office Xp (2002) not working in 12.04

In Ubuntu 12.04 Office cannot go past the initial setup once you open any application like Word or powerpoint or any of the office applications. What do I need to do to get it running in 12.04

Heya,

First lets get this out of the way. There is a bug in ubuntu 12.04 that affects some programs in weird ways. Open a terminal window and run this command:

echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

Tell us if this fixes things for you.
