If it only has a windows version then you would need an emulator like Wine to run it. It is available in the kubuntu repositories, but that would require you to have an internet connection to download it with.

If you manage to get an internet connection, just run 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get install wine'.

Definately impossible to install a Windows binary without some additional software, like Wine or Cross Over office. [based on Wine]
