This might though:
cp -r /home/testA/.wine ~/.wine-office
chown -r testB:testB ~/.wine-office
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-office
cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12"
wine winword

It might be possible to create some links as will for say, the
Microsft Office directory to save some space. (This should only be
done for things in program files and they should be changed to
read-only (which should be fine) to prevent patches etc. from making
the files go out of sync with the registry entries.
