I'm asking this question for my wife's sister. She wants the windows version of office on her Mac, can you do that by running one of the programs that let's you run windows or do you have to use the Mac version of office?

Thanks!

You need to run MS Windows in order to run the MS Windows version of Office. You can do that by using BootCamp or VMware or Parallels.

You can do that via running Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox and having a license for Windows and using that to install Windows in one of those applications I listed earlier.
No need to get the Mac Office version.

Crossover is an option too and does not require the Windows license like the above options do.
