Support for Wordsmith linguistics software for Windows

Hello,
This thread is a bit specialised, but I hope the question might interest some people. Wordsmith Tools is a popular piece of linguistics software, running under Windows. A functional demo version is available for download here: http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith/version5/index.html It's supposed to run correctly under Linux, but, although it installs fine, when I run it, using wine or crossover, I cannot choose my texts, which appear crossed out, cf. screenshot below.

I've tried installing Wordsmith 5 and 4 with wine or crossover, running it as sudo (though I think this might ultimately be the source of the problem), or changing character encoding of text files, with no success. Any help would be much appreciated!
