The problem is that whatever is launching, MS Word is not properly wrapping the file name in quotes (i.e., "My Document.docx" is treated as "My" "Document.docx")
Working around the problem isn't too hard.
Try the following.
- Make a script with the following text:
#!/bin/bash wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" "`winepath -w "$@"`" and save it as "word_launch.sh". Put it somewhere safe, like your home directory. 2) Make the script executable (right-click on the script, Properties, Permissions). 3) Right-click on a Word document, choose Open With and choose Other Application... 4) Hit the browse button and find the script you just made: 5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each different file type (.doc, .docx). 6) Make a new script for each different program (Word, Excel, etc.)
(The solution above is taken from Mazin's post in the following page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8769518)
This solution doesn't help. Word will remain trying to open separate documents...
