The commands worked.  I now have wine 1.3; unfortunately, the office products still do not work.  I even went into Wine configuration, went to the Applications tab, added each of the office products, and set the Windows version to Windows 7.  Even that modification won't get office products to work.  I will try to remove and reinstall the office suite.  Does this sound like a reasonable attempt to fix the problem?  Should I try something else?

Did you start with a clean wine prefix and install Office 2007. Then
try to run word or some other office application all from the command
line?
