wine user-friendliness

[da Black Baron]

Have you tried simply associating .doc files with 'wine /pathto/winword'
in the KDE file associations applet?  (pardon if this was the first
thing you tried!;-)

If that didn't work, I still can't help but think there's got to be some
way to get a script associated in the KDE applet to open a .doc file in
winword for you...  I'll tinker with it a bit myself here, and if I come
up with anything, I'll send it along to you.
