What works
Most core wordprocessor functionality including the embedding of images, drawings and auto-update (eg. date) fields.
What does not
Documents with spaces in the name do not appear to be parsed correctly by the "Open File" dialog but [strangely] work from the recent documents list. OLE embedded objects do not appear/open (eg. charts from another app). Custom cursors do not appear ("No support for .ani cursors"). Starting application in non-maximised window state - main application window does not appear, though the "WORDPRO.EXE" process is listed in 'top'.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Probably lots of esoteric wordpro functionality I am not even aware of.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
Main formatting toolbar is quite sluggish compared to native environment which makes using this app a bit painful, but you can live with it IMO. Wine built from source.

To make the unordered bullets work correctly, you need to download and copy the `wingdings.ttf` fonts into the "c:\windows\fonts" directory:
1. Download `wingdings.ttf` TrueType font
2. If wine is installed in `$HOME/.wine`directory, run command:
$ mkdir $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
$ cp wingdings.ttf $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
