Hello,
I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, I recently installed MS Office 2010 and I would like to integrate the Antidote spell checker. However, I installed it correctly but it doesn't integrate into my Office. Normally when Antidote is installed, a new menu in Word called Antidote appears.
Thank you in advance for your help
Configuration: Linux / Chrome 23.0.1271.64

Conventions
(1) all lines starting with a '$' are commands to be typed in a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
(2) the AntidoteHD-v4.1_Wine directory must be located at the root of your $HOME
1. Prerequisites
(a) Install the latest version of Wine (v1.2)
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine
Check that Wine has been installed correctly. The output of the command should indicate 'wine-1.2':
$ wine --version
(b) install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
$ cd AntidoteHD-v4.1_Wine
$ wine vcredist_x86.exe
(c) install MSXML (Microsoft Core XML Services) 6.0
$ msiexec /i msxml6.msi
(d) install Smooth Fonts and choose option 3 "Subpixel smoothing (ClearType) RGB"
$ bash winefontssmoothing_en.sh
(d) replace the Windows system Fonts directory with the new directory:
$ mv ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts.bak
$ unzip AntidoteHD-v4.1_Wine/Fonts.zip -d ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
2. Install Antidote HD v4.1
(a) copy the license file 'Antidote7.ini ' to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
$ cp AntidoteHD-v4.1_Wine/Antidote7.ini ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
You can, if you wish, edit the file to change the first name and last name.
(b) extract the Antidote7_v4.1_Windows.zip directory to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files
$ cd AntidoteHD-v4.1_Wine
$ unzip Antidote7_v4.1_Windows.zip -d ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files
(c) launch Antidote (command line or Gnome menu)
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Druide/Antidote\ 7/Programmes32/antido32.exe
Do not integrate Antidote with Internet Explorer (!)
(d) optimize the behavior of the systray
Right-click on the Systray > Options (ignore error boxes):
- disable "Launch the Antidote Agent at Windows startup"
- disable "Enable Antidote fast startup"
- enable "Quit the Antidote Agent when quitting Antidote". When the "Antidote agent" window opens, check "Do not show this dialog again", then click "Continue".
The next step will be to write an automated installation script. Suggestions and improvements are welcome :)

it seems to be proprietary, paid and all that, and all that!!
so, we must not get into illegality, under penalty of prosecution...and all that and all that!!^^ -
I have already seen this tutorial, it is too old. The latest version of Wine is not 1.2 but 1.5.17, and it also assumes that I have a CD of Antidote, which I do not have. In short, it does not work.
