Word 2002 or office xp standard.  (I've tried both.)

wine 0.9.4 the version for amd-64. Its available from the community
documentation.  In the set up config, I did switch it from ME to 98,
btw.

I've also had problems connecting into the data base too for what its
worth.  Googling on the error didn't bring back any useful info, maybe
if I was trying to install eve.

A for what its worth, I was able to get it working with crossover which
is short term solution.  Would prefer to support open source ... (which
is making this even more ironic.)

Thanks,
al
