But still we'd first have to find out WHAT is going wrong, as Zope seems to
comply with the standard and Word doesn't ...

I think all the software needed for a test can be got from Microsoft for a
free testing period (some of them up to 120 days). Their most prominent
example of a WebDAV server is the SharePoint Portal server. The MS Exchange
repository also is WebDAV-enabled ...

I am sorry that I'll probably not be the one to do the tests because of time
restrictions.
