How to install microsoft office on LinuxLite
#2
Welcome pradyut.pal to Linux Lite - LL is a great operating system and I'm sure you'll enjoy the journey with this distro, and the ever friendly & very supportive LL forum community here  Smile

I have installed Microsoft Office on LL - you need to use Play On Linux which is a software package you can install from Lite Software (within System directory) or from Install Software (under Favourites) under  Menu. When I installed Microsoft Office 2007 on LL,  I used this weblink and it worked well:

Play-on-Linux will, by default,  display the Microsoft Word, Excel, etc, icons as desktop shortcuts. 

Normally we use LibreOffice on our laptops here at home, and usually there isn't a problem with compatibility with reading Microsoft Office documents with LibreOffice, and vice versa.  However, sometimes my son found that when he downloaded tabulated data for his school homework, from Microsoft Word into LibreOffice Writer, the tables were sometimes not centred properly on the page.  Now and then, there can be a similar issue with Powerpoint and LibreOffice Impress, though in general the compatibility  with presentation slides seems to be fine.

I hope this helps a bit, have a good day, and welcome again ...

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ Arm710@1.2GHz - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ i3-3110M@2.4GHz - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom N455@1.66GHz - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel T3200@2.0GHz - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel T7100@1.8GHz - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
