HOWTO
  • Set riched20 to native and usp10 to native, builtin after installing. There is no need to copy the dlls, as Office 2007 installs its own versions, but the overrides must be set in winecfg in order for Wine to use them. 
  • The thesaurus needs Windows Scripting Host 5.6 (jscript); use winetricks wsh56js to install it. 
  • Beginning with 1.1.16, Wine includes its own symbol.ttf, so there is no longer a need to install it separately.
  • The problem with bullets and numbering not working was fixed as of 1.1.11, but requires a fresh install under that version or later. If you do not wish to upgrade and/or reinstall, the workaround (for the English version, at least) is to go into Word Options, Language Settings and delete all languages other than U.S. English. 
  • The default bullet characters are from Wingdings. If you want them to look the same as on Windows, install that font.

Menu tip
by Firas Kraiem on Saturday November 14th 2009, 4:37
"- The Office Orb menu thing: opening the menu and selecting a second option makes the menu disappear, nothing serious, the save dialog works!"

This can be easily worked around. The menu disappears only when you select an option that opens a submenu, and then select another option that also opens a submenu. The trick is to first select an option that oens a submenu, then select an option that doesn't. Then you can select another option that does. For example, selecting "Save as" then "Print" will make the menu disappear, but selecting "Save as" then "Save" then "Print" won't.

Citation bug

Whenever you use the citation editor (References tab, insert citation) and go to the website drop-down and try to paste a URL, the whole program crashes.

SmartArt does not work
by Andrew Cleveland on Friday August 28th 2009, 3:04
On WINE 1.1.26, when I click the SmartArt button in a new document, the chooser dialog pops up. But no matter which type I choose, after I click OK nothing appears in the document.

Font edginess
by Mike Kaplinskiy on Sunday April 12th 2009, 3:01
It seems that some anti-aliasing on fonts in word doesn't work due to lack of SourceAlphaConstant support. I have not tested this, but it seems the likely culprit (several fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend Ignoring SourceConstantAlpha 176 for AC_SRC_ALPHA). Could someone test this and possibly push the patch?

Can't launch with a file as argument
by Jeff on Friday April 3rd 2009, 3:25
Hi all,

I tried to make a script to launch Word taking a file path (translated using winepath) as argument.

But I always get a 'file not found exception' from Word.

Does someone knows a workaround for this problem ?

Note: this problem exists for Excel too.
