Yes, but my question was whether other apps can *write* it. It may be 
that MSWord is trying to open a file with write permission, and that is 
failing.

Are you using Wine binaries or source? There is a tool winesetuptk 
available way down on
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241

I have not used it; check various posts by Ivan, since he knows a lot 
better than me how to use it.

If you are using Wine source, the tools/wineinstall in the source tree 
will create the fake partition.
