Yeah, appearently thats what i have to do. I tried to activate it, but unfortunately nothing happens when i click the activation button in the word options page. maybe i have to reinstall again and try, without using the guide mentioned before.

all of words menu fonts were italic, plus it wasnt the correct fonts. im neither familiar with wine nor winetricks, so i didnt know about the allfonts package. so probably i will have to reinstall as you said, and then install the allfonts package to fix fonts. hopefully activation will work then.
