The script becomes slightly more complex because it uses a parameter to say which Office program it will run: ================== msoffice start =========================== #!/bin/bash export LANG=he.IL.UTF-8 wine "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\$1" ================== msoffice end =========================== You'd use it like this: msoffice word.exe msoffice excel.exe Ignore case and the wine command in these examples - as both could be wrong. Modify your existing msoffice script by replacing the program name, e.g. word.exe, by $1 > Second, It looks worse and every startup it asks > me if I want to Run or display the script. opening > the software from the Wine menu is much more smooth (IMHO). > is there a way to configure that? > Thats because you're starting Office programs by clicking the script name in the Nautilus window, rsather than using the Gnome launcher to run it. Nautilus is the Gnome equivalent ot Windows Explorer. Instead, create a launcher for each MSOffice program. This will put a clickable icon on your Gnome desktop for each program. Right click on the desktop and select "Create launcher", and fill in the dialogue box. For Word you'd set the following: Type = Application Name = MS Word Command = /home/login/bin/msoffice word.exe where "/home/login" is your login directory. This will make an icon using the default launcher icon, a square thing on top of a spring. By clicking on the icon image (top left in the "Properties" or the "Create launcher" dialogues) you can change that for any other suitable image. I don't know whether you can use the MS images buried in their executables - its something I've never tried, but you might: - find an image on the internet and please honour the artist's copyright if you do this - use one from the Gnome default set - use a drawing tool to make your own or to resize an image you've found. GIMP will do this. I prefer xfig to GIMP for making icons. Its a vector graphics program (like Adobe Illustrator) which makes drawings that can be saved as PNG or JPG images. If its not installed with your distro it may be an extra that your package manager can install. Its a bit quirky at first, but not too difficult to pick up. Martin
