If you are running fairly fresh Wine, you can simply use Microsoft's own 
WordViewer application. It is free for the download. I am running SuSE 9.1 
Pro (fresh install this morning, it seems to be a nice advancement over 
9.0!). Anyway - the Wine that comes w/ SuSE 9.1 works just fine with the MS 
Word viewer, although I had trouble with an older version of wine.

So - assuming you have wine-20040203 or newer, you should be good to go. Go 
here:

Download the viewer (just click download). Go into a terminal window, and 
install the viewer (wine wd97vwr32.exe). It should install cleanly, but you 
may have to try twice. 

Once the viewer is installed, you can view your MSWord documents. I entered 
the following to view a README.DOC file in the same directory as my 
viewer.exe: wine WORDVIEW.EXE README.DOC

I'm sure there are prettier ways to do it, but that worked. I could view the 
README.DOC in OpenOffice and KWord, but it looked very different under the 
MSWord viewer.
