I am working on a project just to do that. I think we both trying to get the same thing working. I have read the reply from Adam
Tauno Williams. He has already running this combination. I have recently installed the latest version of wine. My results are best
when the server running wine has a native m$ partition. Depending on the kind of programs you are running under wine the results are
quite different.

What Office do you mean? M$ offices are not interchangeable. You can't run O2000 on W95. If you use staroffice you don't need wine.
I am trying to get fooks to start using staroffice. M$ is already advertising with Office XP so why start with O2000 I argue?

OpenOffice like Kword are missing to much possibilities. It has no ë or ï et cetera which are fital for the languages spoken here.
