Like .. ?  Are we talking Office 2000?  Linux probably can't manage it.
Office 2000 uses weird-ass stuff like Active Directory etc.

Other than that, MS Office doesn't need a server other than a file/app
server.

The only thing that you might have to look out for is replacing the
functionality of MS Exchange when it comes to schedule+ etc (or whatever it
is now..)..  allowing multiple people to access each others schedule in
Outlook or MS Exchange etc.  The MS Exchange Server is required for that to
happen.

The only hard thing to completely replace is the Exchange Server.

BEST of luck!
