I have a portable version of MS Word that requires no installation. It freezes
on startup when I try to run it in Wine. I have been trying for several hours
to get this to work, and tried a bunch of different things I've found on the
net, all of which either break my wine configuration, or fail to change the
freeze situation.
Code:

Presumably the "safe mode" prompt is due to the crash I'm
experiencing. A slight square that looks like a startup window appears but just
freezes. Then I have to ctrl+c the process from the terminal window.
No, I don't want to use OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
Help!
