Microsoft Word and Power point

Good afternoon from the Czech republic,
sorry if this topic is already in here, but I havent found something what is enough easy for me. (I am not very beginner, but I dont have a lot of experience with bash etc.).

Can you give me some easy tip, instructions, please? I must have this 2 programme for school.
1) Install with Wine?
2) What about Virtual machine?
3) Another possibility?

Thank you very much!

<ot> I found out that this distro exist 3 days ego...and I really like it. I want to say that for example omnibox in iceweasel(firefox) is very nice detail(i wanted to do it in my debian). Althoug this is small detail, I think it is really good distro. I like its style, simplicity and also vlc, adobe flash in default system. </ot>

1) Office is compatible with Wine, mostly (it sometimes breaks in test versions, so just stick to stable)
2) It will definitely work in a Virtual Machine.
3) LibreOffice 4 has much better cross-compatibility with MS Office (I just submitted a manuscript in LO4 generated .docx and it was received with no complaints about the format.)

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

playonlinux has installation templates for office, so that you don't need to modify or install anything per hand. It is easy and effective, and it works,
