There are licensing issues with using Microsoft files, so I would recommend against it.

Some dlls are available through 3rd party resources, some are available through Microsoft with packages, and some are reverse engineered by the Wine group.

There are also some non-free applications such as Cedega and CrossOver-Office that supply needed DLLs.

I will pull the files out of a VMWare Windows installation that I
have. Are there any other dll's  that are worth taking? Would it be
unwise to simply copy them all over?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
