I didn't know that MS Word needed IE to run. I've used Open Office for about two years, and have installed it on numerous windows systems for other people. I've just recently been dual booting with Ubuntu and wanted to test out Wine. MS Word was the only thing I had around to try. What programs DO get used a lot under Wine? mtyoung Eberhard Roloff wrote: <blockquote cite="midegr2tn$h5o$1@sea.gmane.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Scott wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">mtyoung spake thusy: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I hope some of you have gone thru this with Wine and can offer some help. I just installed Wine using Add/Remove Programs, on an up to date version of Ubuntu 6.06 and the 686 kernel. In the terminal "wine /home/mtyoung/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe", starts up notepad which seems to work fine. Same for "wine /usr/lib/wine/notepad.exe.so".

Personally, I found ies4linux to be the easiest for ie installs. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page">http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page</a> Furthermore, it could be a good idea to upgrade to the recent wine version.
