Yeah, MS doesn't play nicely.  The usual suggestion is to install
Windows first, then Linux.

Anyway, one possibility is to repartition your drive (e.g. add a new,
blank partition using 'parted' or some other similar utility), and
hopefully Windows will let you choose that partition to install on.  I
can't guarantee this will work, as I haven't installed Windows in many
moons.

Alternatively, Cross-Over Office and/or WINE.
