Thanks.

At a guess it's the object not being created correctly.
Is Mendeley addin for 32 or 64 bits?
It's for 32 bits.
In lack of a better idea, I tried creating an empty file in the My Documents folder with the name "MendeleyWordPlugin.PluginComServer.1", but of course it didn't solve the problem.
In the meantime, I also contacted Mendeley Support: they have suggested to enable ActiveX controls, but I couldn't do that in Internet settings, since - as I've noticed - Wine has a quite limited implementation of the Control panel. I also tried it in the settings of Word 2010 (Trust Center Settings/ActiveX settings), but still no luck.
