I noticed that the original thread name was whiped out by my MOO2 addition.  The
next message in the thread had the MSOffice stuff, but not my stuff about MOO2.
 I did not intend to change the thread.  I saw how the thread just died away
after only two responses to this important question ( getting MS Office to work
under Wine).  I figured that I would just rename the thread again so everybody
can help out the person with the original question.  This is no flame, but it
would be *nice* if somebody actually answered my inquiry about MOO2 under Wine,
and I didn't mean to throw dirt on the fire and kill the thread.
