Please ignore my earlier post today: I forgot that I had masked versions of WINE greater than 1.3.27, and so I inadvertently reinstalled 1.3.27 instead of 1.3.37. [Embarassed] I've just removed the mask and this time really installed 1.3.37. Unfortunately the problem persists, i.e. WINE 1.3.37 freezes if I try to access an Office 2007 document's Properties. :(
