Do every windows software require wine to run in Linux

[Capac]

I want to run a Microsoft office program in my computer. Well what I want to say is that is it necessary to have a wine in my Linux operating system to run any program from the windows. The reason I am asking this is because I have no idea how to install the wine and I don’t have much knowledge about it regarding the operation of the wine. So that’s why I was asking is there any other application that will allow me to install the windows office program. I have heard about the open office but I am not at all impressed with it. So any more suggestions from your side will be highly appreciated.
