I am using Qubes as my main OS and now it seems that due to my work

using my Qubes laptop.
IMHO running Office 365 from Qubes OS makes very little sense (as you
publish all your data to Microsoft basically). It's abit like runniing
TOR browser and then fill in some form with all your personal data.
I will need to use the MS Office 365 ideally with/without the following
features:
- no need to have internet connection
Is that possible for a longer time?
- no need to have win apps other than the MS Office 365 are needed now
Will Office work without OneDrive?
- need to copy and paste text in between win-AppVMs and non-win-AppVMs
Does that work (e.g. copying text in a non-X11 application to paste it
into some X11 application)?
- need to file sharing between win-AppVMs and non-win-AppVMs (copy and
move)
- need to ideally be able to open the MS Office 365 files in various
separate AppVMs, but it is not a killer and I can live without it if it
complicates the situation too much.
My question is, if there is some workaround other than necessity to
install whole Windows OS in my Qubes.
Office 365 _without_ MS-Windows? Are you kidding? Maybe Microsoft
provides it for other platforms, but _why_ would one use the Microsoft
product? (I'm using OpenOffice/LibreOffice for years, and it's OK for me)
If the Windows OS installation is a necessity in this case, would you
consider the WIN7 or WIN10 as better, less troublesome option? Could you
point me to a how to guide? There is this guide
The question is: Does Office/365 support Windows 7? I doubt that.
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows/. Is there any other one you would
propose for this case?
