Neil, If the keyword expansion is not correct for your Word files then one of two things must be happening. Either you are using the -k option with the checkout, add, or update commands or there is something wrong with your cvswrappers file. Make sure that you are not passing a -k flag when checking out or updating files (or using the -k flag on adds) since it becomes "sticky" when it used with these two commands. Alternatively, specifically use -kb explicitly whenever you are adding binary files such as Word documents.
Cygwin programs can operate on files in either binary or text mode as explained in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html. You might want to try adding "tty binmode" to your CYGWIN environment variable to ensure that Cygwin programs are always using binary mode. If tty is not set then I think that the Cygwin cvs client might treat standard input and output in text mode rather than binary mode which would corrupt the cvs protocol.
