A few ways of launching Word document "Open source at your company.docx":
 1. wine 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE' "`winepath -w
"/home/FFAD/marius/Desktop/Open source at your company.docx"`"
 2. Double-clicking
 3. wine start /ProgIDOpen Word.Document.12 "/home/FFAD/marius/Desktop/Open
source at your company.docx"

With a default install, only 1 works (note the excessive quoting), with 2-3
making Word sound like William Shatner.  (3 is used internally when
double-clicking.)

Using the Regedit advice above, I changed
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\command(default) from:
  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde
to
  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde "%1"
.

Now 1-3 all work.

The same sort of Regedit changes work for Word.Document.8 (doc) and other files
that don't open correctly by themselves.

(wine --version => wine-1.1.40)
