Hi,I had the same problem, but the next time I ran word it worked. By default you get the assistant the first time you start up any office application and that will always crash wine. The best idea would probably be to uninstall the assistant altogether (there's absolutely no use in keeping it since it will simply crash wine, however you might want to keep it if you use it in windows and actually find it useful :) ), you can do that from the setup program on the cdrom either by choosing add-remove or by reinstalling entirely. Also note that Outlook and Frontpage simply won't work at all,
and that the other office components are not exactly rock solid.When dealing with wine I find it's useful to keep a tarball of your wine directory including your config files and your fake windows directory that way you can restore
everything when something goes wrong. Hope that helps, Bijan Irvin Temp wrote:
