I've been following this discussion with some interest as I have never been able to get ExternalEditor to work for me. Now, that said, I have it confiured enough that it will present me with an editor and a file (WinWord) by clicking on the pencil. But I am confused on two points: 1.) When Word opens a document it presents me with text without any formatting. Also gives me metadata, URL, cookie info etc. Is this how it is supposed to work? 2.) When I save the work, I don't know where is goes or how to get it back to my plone site. Just seems that the documentation gets vague on these issues. Looking for some enlightenment.
It sounds as though your browser has invoked WinWord as the "helper" for the ExternalEditor "stub" file, which has the data you describe in it. You want to associate the EE helper application ('zopeedit.py') with that mimetype, 'application/x-zope-edit'.
