This is what I used: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 , and from one of its links, I installed WINE, then Word 97 and HanDBase.
There's also exagear, once abandoned, now available again with a hacked registration. exagear essentially works like box86; I had that running on a Planet Computer Gemini.
On the PP, I run Manjaro/xfce, and box86 plays nice. I don't know if box86 works as well with other OSs. It takes a lot of downloading and compiling, however. And don't forget the long load time for x86 apps, though their memory demands are quite modest, so can simmer in the background once they're up.
