Hi!
I'm using orgmode as a replacement for folders, you know, real folders, lots
of paper inside.
In my orgfiles I link to many other files, mostly *.tex and *.pdf, links look
like
[[./foo.pdf][About foo]]
Sometimes I can't avoid to link to doc or docx files. So I need my linux pc to
start word and load a certain file.
I'd like to link to *.doc files in the same way:
[[./bar.doc][About that draft]]
But how can I set org-file-apps to open a *.doc file with MS Word under Linux?
Word works, more or less.
To start word the command is:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/AW/.wine-office" wine "C:\windows\command\start.exe" /Unix
"/home/AW/.wine-office/dosdevices/c:/users/AW/Start Menu/Programs/Microsoft
Office/Microsoft Word 2010.lnk"
But how in the world can I put in my .emacs file? I tried:
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps
'("\\.doc" . "\"env WINEPREFIX="/home/AW/.wine-office" wine
"C:/windows/command/start.exe"
/Unix "/home/AW/.wine-office/dosdevices/c:/users/AW/Start
Menu/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Word 2010.lnk"\" %s"))
But I get:
Invalid read syntax: ". in wrong context"
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Regards,
Alexander

Well, there might be an even better list, but I don't
think this is OT on this list, on the contrary. I never
used wine, but did you try any of the Open, Libre, or
Star Office word processors? I don't know because I
don't use them but one would suspect they are capable
of doing transparent edits to Word documents. That way
you don't have to worry about wine.
