Selected Test Results

What works

Editing documents is a breeze. All major word processing functions are working. I was even able to activate it.

What does not

Word will start maximised. Attempting to restore the window will make the window small, but also unmovable and you cannot maximise the application anymore. Restarting will restore Word to its original maximised state.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Mailings. The entire review tab. Probably stuff not many people use.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

GPU: Nvidia
Driver: proprietary

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

(Updated 2012-12-26)

Install to a clean wineprefix following the instructions in the Microsoft Office (Installer only) entry. After installing set riched20.dll to native to get around bug 14980. Do not install it with winetricks; Office installs its own version.

Window Resizing Issues

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:

Select Window Rules
Click "New..." to create a new Window Rules
Enter the description
Window Class: Regular Expression: value *\b(winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe)\b.*
Check "Match whole window class"
Check on tab "Size & Position"
Check "Full screen": value Force, No
Check "Ignore Requested Geometry": value Force, Yes
Click Okay

Fix for regular expression
by ZeroUser on Saturday June 17th 2017, 15:05

Please, use this regular expression - with full stop in the beginning:
.*\b(winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe)\b.*
