Third party scripts (e.g., wine-doors, playonlinux, bordeaux) are not support here. What version of Wine are you using? If it's not the latest, upgrade. Delete or rename your old ~/.wine and run the installer again, with no overrides, no tweaks, and no third party scripts. After installing, set an override for riched20. There is no need for winetricks; Office installs its own riched20. The problem with macros is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415 . I've found that putting an empty stdole2.tlb in Wine's windows/sytem32 directory was enough to enable Word 2003 to record and play simple macros, but I haven't really tested it beyond that. There are other possible workarounds mentioned in the bug report if that doesn't work for you.
