Has anyone managed to get sound and video working in PowerPoint 2007? I have installed it using winetricks and am running wine 1.1.3.2 because this is the only version i've been able to get MS Office 2007 running.

Upgrade to 1.1.40, delete or rename your ~/wine, and reinstall. Once the install is complete, set an override for riched20. Do not install it with winetricks--Office installs its own riched20, but the override needs to be set. See the Powerpoint AppDB entry for other tweaks, including one you may need to play mp3 sound. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12813 Inserting video files does not work. For playing video, mpg files are known not to work: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16485
