1. To clone a current office 2013 update scheme in Windows OS and transfer it to the Wine instalation
2. Use an automated software to identify which updates are required in the current Wine instalation and deploy it under Linux
For these two options the outcome is the same: you will have to re-install office 2013 in order to get it full patched, the only difference is the source of these update files.
For the first case (1. To clone a current office update database):
The Office installer has an option to install any .msp file stored in /update folder under the installation path.
You can clone a current office 2013 updates database following the directions here: supportishere.com/how-to-download-microsoft-office-2013-updates-the-easy-way/ and place the files in the /updates folder, so then, you install office using: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/Office2013 WINEARCH=win32 wine ~/office/setup.exe
And setup.exe will detect any .msp file in the /update folder and will apply them.
Pros: you will have a full updated office using files directly from Microsoft.
Second option (use an automated software)
I've tested wsusoffline www.wsusoffline.net, it has two executables: UpdateGenerator.exe and UpdateInstaller.exe (in "client" folder).
With the first one you can scan your current office installation and check for the missing updates: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/Office2013 WINEARCH=win32 wine ~/wsusoffline/UpdateGenerator.exe
Then, you will have all the .cab files stored in the client/wsus/ folder. Now, you have to run UpdateInstaller.exe (at this point it failed, I couldn't get it running fine).
The option here is to convert all the .cab files to .msp files, so you can copy them to the /setup folder under the office 2013 install folder, and run setup.exe as instructed in option 1 (clone an existing full patched office installation).
Pros: You can update your office without access to a Windows running machine
Cons: You rely on a third party to get security software and fixes.
Overall cons: With any of these strategies you still have to reinstall your Office from time to time.

But when i run Word I also entcounter the black window problem. I searched out fot the HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\ reg entry but i couldn't even find the Direct3D entry anywhere. Am I missing something?
Besides: I used playonlinux to install office 2013 but before i did the installation auf the setup.exe i installed msxml4 followed by msxml6. This did the job for installation....
Thanks anyway cool job!
Best Benjamin.

It seems really bizzarre, but I tried it several times:
With the trial version (both German (de-de) and English (en-us)) downloaded from
www.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/evaluate-office-professional-plus-2013
And mount the img file OfficeProfessionalPlus_x86_en-us.img to /mnt/iso.
When I create a fresh WINEPREFIX, set it to win7 and then install winetricks msxml6 and then run the setup, like so:
mkdir -p /virt/wines/ms.office2013
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ winetricks settings win7
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ winetricks msxml6
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ wine /mnt/iso/setup.exe
The behaviour of the setup changes!
It starts with first asking you to enter a product key.
And no matter what product key I entered, they all never worked (even though they should).
Without installing the msxml6, I saw a bunch of xml related messages in the output when launcching the setup, but in this case the setup right away offers to configure and install ms office!
Is that logical that with the msxml6 installed, this would then actually /break/ something ?
If helpful, I could provide debug output and/or file a bug report.
Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback!
