When I post, there are rarely answers. Then, there is "http://www.wine-forum.org/", but that seems to be relatively new, not much there, yet. <BR/><BR/>I get Office (Word/PPT/Excel) installed with 0.9.53 on a naked wine, without any additional tricks (no MSXML3, riched30). So, what is the reason for installing those? However, I still find that Word runs better on 0.9.37 (embedded jpeg/PNG images are rendered very slow, I had issues with font rendering: everything looked bold, although it wasn't).
