With my previous installation I could open MS Office files directy by double clicking them. Now I freshly installed linux mint 19.1 with cinnamon 4.0.10, wine, playonlinux 4.2.12 and wine and got MS Office installed. Office files show the MS Office logo but when I double click them or right click and select Open with Microsoft XXX it just shows me the symbol that it's doing something (whatsoever that round turning thing is called) for a while but doesn't do anything else. In task monitor neither XXX.exe nor wineserver show up. The only way of opening files is to open MS Office, and chose the file via File --> Open. Can you please help me how to open files by double clicking?
