Hi All, I'm really new to wine and I was interested in using it so that I can write my documentation in Word 2000 and kill the evil half of my hard drive. I've been running into some problems getting it to work though and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to set this up. I've tried to install wine and run the Word executable that lives on the Windows installation on my hard drive but that complains that there is no window's installer installed. I believe wine is set up correctly because solitare works just fine. If anybody has any hints, tips, pointers, etc. . . please let me know. Some direction on where to start in the documentation would be helpful too. thanks, Andy

For example, the open file dialog generates messages about unimplemented APIs. So I suspect that someone is going to need to do some wine hacking before Word 2000 will work.
