Are you positive you followed the steps correctly? (i.e., Did you make the
shell script executable and type the following command in one line?

wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" "`winepath -w
"$@"`"

I used the provided solution and it works fine for me as well as a few others.
If it works for us, then there is no reason it should not work for you, as the
Bash shell should be in whatever distro you're using.
