Hi, Wang:

I have just implemented such a system for another
company. You can pretty much follow the instruction on
the slide web site. The biggest headache is to
convince MSWord that the slide server DOES NOT support
IIS Frontpage extension.

Here is how MSWord treats a webdav "web folder": it
first sends request formatted as front page extension
for IIS. If that request is rejected, it falls back to
webdav protocal.

Now come the fun part: since slide/tomcat does not
understand frontpage extension, it throws an error.
However, Tomcat has this lovely feature that formats
error code into a pretty looking html page, and send
it back to client. Meanwhile, MSWord is expecting a
simple error code. Upon it receiving this pretty html
message, it spits out all kind of meaningless error
alerts. It literally took me days to figure it
out;-(((

To avoid this issue, I wrote a little servlet that
captures this particular error, then throw a barebone
error code back to the client, instead of the pretty
page.

I can email the servlet to you when I get home
tonight.
