I found out, that things are much more complicated:
I wrote a bash script "word.sh" (see my other mail on this) and tried to figure
out how to pass a filename to it. Even this is not obvious, because from the
viewpoint of Word under Wine filenames differ from the real filename in the
system. I did not suceed to make Word start and open a file foo.docx. You know,
something weird as
"word.sh" "C:/users/AW/Meine Dokumente/Dokumente/temp/foo.docx"
made Word start, but not open a document, and Word complains about missing dot
something. And often people send files with names which are a pain to read,
including "$" -signs, brackets and whatever.
The whole thing is way too difficult for me and I have to dismiss the idea.
Thanks to you and everyone who offered help, but it was not a good idea.
Regards,
Alexander
