It's not obvious how to do it, I'd agree on that one. What you need to do is open a terminal and use wineboot. You can find more on wineboot here: http://wiki.winehq.org/wineboot I believe you'll need to run: wineboot -r It suggests on the WineHQ app database that Word 2002 is well supported with the status set to Gold - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10 Alternatively if you're still having problems you might want to consider having a look at CrossOver Office which is a commercial version of Wine with support from Codeweavers. They suggest that Word 2002 is a 'silver' application and is supported: http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=2 CrossOver Office is £25.99 with 6 months of level 3 support but you can also get a 30 day trial version to try it out (good for testing application compatibility) or £44.99 for the Professional version which gives you 1 year of level 2 support. You can find out more about the levels of support here: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/faq/#f There is also a games specific version available which supports popular Windows games (World of Warcraft etc) and also a version of either for the Intel based Mac at the same price.
