All, Did a little research and found this little trick that works well. First create this batch file and modify to your system. winword ------------------------------------ FNAME=`wine -- winepath -l "$1"` wine -- "/wine/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/WINWORD.exe" "$FNAME" ------------------------------------ chmod a+x winword and put it some where in the path then associate any .doc to be opened with 'winword' and it works great. I have also used this method with excel and quicktime files. How it works: Line 1: FNAME=`wine -- winepath -l "$1" What it does takes a unix path like /home/uid/Docuements/file.doc and set the variable FNAME to f:\Documents\file.doc Line 2: wine -- "/wine/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/WINWORD.exe" "$FNAME" Loads winword via wine with the wine relative path to the file. example: winword /home/uid/Documents/file.doc creates wine -- /wine/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/WINWORD.exe F:\Documents\file.doc Which is what word needs to load the selected file. Hope you find this useful. Kevin ===== --------------------------------- Kevin DeKorte kdekorte@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
