Yes.

Answering the second question first: not that I'm aware.
I'd perform an installation of the legacy MS Windows OS into a separate
partition, mount this someplace (I usually choose /mnt/windows). In the
1.x release of Wine (yes, it *is* a production release now), you can
specify where things live in the configuration dialog (you'll need the
winesetuptk package for this). In older versions, this is configured in
your /etc/wine.conf file.
My experience was that WINE support through MS Office 97 was pretty
reasonable. Some things work (Word, Excel), some things don't
(Access). Impressive, in the way a dancing dog is.
