Hi, I am trying to modfiy POL script for Office 2010.

Script create icons using POL_Shortcut command:

POL_Shortcut "WINWORD.EXE" "Microsoft Word 2010"

it create icon file ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-docx.desktop with this content:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/martin/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/Office2010" wine start /ProgIDOpen Word.Document.12 %f

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/martin/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/Office2010" wine start /ProgIDOpen Word.Document.12 z:%f

This is a bad idea to modify the script like this.

Wine is creating ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-docx.desktop, not POL.

The right shortcut (ies POL's one) is created on your desktop once installed

Is there any way how to create my own shortcut?

POL already creates it automatically.

I don't understand what do you want to do exactly

http://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-3476.html :

If I double click to docx file, Word doesn't open this file. After I edit command in shortcut it is ok.
Now I must edit all desktop files after intalling Office manually :-(

Open your .docx file directly with PlayOnLinux

If I opening docx file from Word File->Open, it is ok.

But I want open docx files by double clicking on docx files on Nautilus.

A lot of people have the same problem:

Exactly, Quentin. You should be able to (well, in most file managers), right-click the file in question, and be able to associate it with a program. It is usually like: right-click, open with ..., pick the program, check a box to associate the file with a program, and when you choose the program, simply point it to your shortcut for the program installed via POL.

I haven't seen a file manager without this feature in a long time, so chances are, if you check the docs or forums for your Linux distro, you will see how to do it.
