I did read your suggested input and validated that in fact they were all implemented.
This reply was a reply to a second answer.
Here is the fstab section:
/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /usr ext2 defaults,auto 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults,auto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win98 vfat defaults,auto,umask=0,sync 0 0
Here is the referenced ls /mnt output line:
drwxrwxrwx 21 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 win98
Here is the copy of the $HOME/.wine/config file
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/mnt/win98"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "win98"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
It was your input that got the permissions to 0777, however Word still fails.
This error must be either part of a registry or word config parameter, etc.
Again, Thank you for your help,
Dan

Thanks,
Yes /mnt/win98 is mounted as 0777 and word still can't write.
The error messages are in 8.3 format, it may be a word config thing.

You thnaked me for my comments, you quoted them, but AFAICT, you didn't
read them. A fat32 partition can be mounted either msdos or vfat.
If it has the fstype msdos, Linux will limit filenames to 8.3; with
"Filesystem" = "win95" (or "vfat"), Wine will not. The result will be
that any attempt to write a file with a name that is not 8.3 will fail,
probably with a messagebox.
A fstype of auto will try filesystems in the order they appear in
/etc/filesystems if it exists, or in /proc/filesystems, and use the
first one that works, be it msdos or vfat.
to fix that, umount the filesystem, change its /etc/fstab line to be
fstype vfat and remount it.
Of course this is pure speculation, but it is one reason an app might
not be _able_ to create a file even though it may be permitted to.
You could also try running
wine --debugmsg +file blah.exe 2>&1|tee logfile
to see what Wine is tr ying to do and what joy it is getting doing it.
