A couple of things I forgot, but feel I should mention. Although one installs Wine as root and does some minimal global configuration, each user must do their own configuration. Windows software needs to be installed as user, not as root. If there is more than one user on the system, the installation of software must be done for each user (per the licenses).
Secondly, if you have VBS active in your MSWord or are using IE and other Windows software under Wine that are open to infection, you do need to take the same precautions on a Linux system that you would on a Windows system to protect against the Win32 viruses and such. Wine is fully capable of executing Win32 viruses, Trojans, and worms. Don't run Wine as root after it is installed. Then, you won't hurt the overall Linux system, although you will still be able to really mess up your user stuff if a virus gets executed.
