Hi there,

I have installed MS Office 2007 in  wine 1.2.2 running in LinuxMint KDE 9, together with other softwares (including GraphPad Prism 4). 

After install, I set riched20.dll as native (windows), as stipulated here: 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992

The obvious issue is that this method set riched20 globally, not specifically for ppt... which impairs GraphPad...

Is there a way to set riched20.dll specifically as "native (windows)" for powerpoint?
Or shall I reinstall everything and use different wine prefixes? and if so, what is the procedure to follow?

Thanks for your help!!
