Has anyone run MS Word 97 with WINE? Maybe using Winetools:

I'm looking to switch to FreeBSD but I must have ability to run Word 97. I
use OO for most things but I get some heavily formatted docs (usually RFP
and bid requests) from state government and OO 1.x chokes.

Word is a MUST for my business, otherwise I will stick with Linux and
Crossover Office for the few Word docs I get that OO won't render.

(I'm hoping that the final release of OO2 will have more compatibility with
Word. The beta is still to buggy for business use.)

Thanks,
Al
