You should make a separate wineprefix the default for Office 2003 and 2007 as well, though it shouldn't be sandboxed. Right now you are setting the override for riched20 only for the main apps, but many of Office's advanced features (e.g., clip organizer, equation editor) are separate exes and the override needs to be set for all of them. Installing to a separate wineprefix and setting the override globally is much easier. It will also protect Office apps from being messed up by other overrides a user might set for other apps. You might also want to disable Wine's crash dialog for Office, as it prevents Office's error handler from recovering the file that was being worked on at the time of the crash.
