------- Additional Comments From nick.battle@uk.fujitsu.com 2006-08-03 06:41 ------- I can confirm that this happens with me too. Wine 0.9.9, running under SuSE 10.0, trying to run any Office'97 component - not just Word, but Powerpoint and Excel too.
The message in English reads:
"The folder 'Y:\ ' isn't accessible. The folder may be located on an unavailable volume or protected with a password."
That newline after the backslash is displayed, as though there's a control character in the path name perhaps?
I get the error when I use the Open dialog to open files, as well as using Save dialog to save them. Word will open a document if you give it the pathname as an argument to the .exe though.
Other file-manipulation program, like notepad.exe, are fine.
