I installed Office 2003 in Wine without any winetricks or native DLLs. Excel works great, Word crashes a lot and can't save. What's the current best attempt to get Word 2003 to work in Wine? I see the AppDB shows no ideas on getting it working ... It's supported in CrossOver, so it should be possible in winehq Wine! Has anyone got Word working? - d.

It's already fixed in git. This is stated in the Office 2003 entry under "Known Regressions," and there is a big red warning in the Word 2003 entry.

It's definitely needed for the thesaurus, probably affects some other things as well.
