Huh. I insatlled wine wine-20040309 and nothing else. When installing
office (2000 sr1)I followed someone else's instructions and insatlled
minimal IE componenets only, and then word, power point, excel and tools 
minus assistants.

Do I need to install IE6?  I thought IE doesn't work under wine or am I
wrong?  Or is it all about libraries? Sorry for stupidity, but what is
DCOM98?

As far as errors, it starts with

fixme:ole:OLEFontImpl_QueryTextMetrics (0x440e03a8, 0x406d9eb4), stub!

then a lot of similar garbage and ends with

you just delete wordfast.dot from Office/startup

Ok, will try that.
