What works
Installer (see separate AppDB entry)
starting the application
The Office Orb menu thing: opening the menu and selecting 1 option that shows a menu on the right side.
saving and loading a simple document to and from docx and doc, I suppose bigger files won't be a problem.
Inserting autoshapes, tables (the insert table menu shows black squares under Wine, they should be white).
spelling and grammar check
annotations
equations if you use usp10.dll native!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this is awesome)
bibliography and table of contents (see below)
watermarks, and probably every other commonly used function
What does not
- The Office Orb menu thing: opening the menu and selecting a second option makes the menu disappear, nothing serious, the save dialog works!
- table of contents has a cool overlay/frame with an "update table" button that is not present under Wine. This is not show-stopping as you can update the table from the ribbon.

Additional Comments
- for equation editor not to crash the program, set usp10.dll to native. - winemenbuilder.exe crashes on start and close of the application, but has no effect on normal operation Maintainer note: rating changed to conform to rating definitions.

Workarounds for bugs 23805 and 30587:
Solution 1: Run in an emulated virtual desktop. This is probably the easiest solution for most users.
Solution 2: Uncheck "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in winecfg. The downside is that Word will no longer show up in the taskbar.
Solution 3: (KDE users only) In System Settings, Window Behavior, do the following:
185.xx.xx nVidia
X will crash when scrolling a document in Word 2007 when using a driver in this series. Upgrade to 195.xx.xx or later.
