Hi,
just put Slide in the webapps/ROOT of your tomcat.
I had the same Problems with Office 2003 under XP and didn't know that
registry tweak you mentioned. What I did is looking at the
networktraffic with ethereal/wireshark and see that the webdav-client
coming with the MS Office-Suite is testing a lot of things before
reading a document. One thing is that it checks if one can read/write in
each parent directory. As if you want to read
http://localhost:8080/slide/docs/mydoc.doc MS-Office tries to read/write
in "/slide/docs" (ok), "/slide" (ok, too) and "/" (!). At that moment
tomcat gives an error because the used webdav calls are not http/html.
Now MS-Office don't believes that server is webdav capable, this is why
it doesn't want to write, it just downloads the document via http and
saves it in a tmp-directory.
If you put slide into webapps/ROOT the folder "/" is a webdav-folder too
and MS-Office is happy.
Hope that helps.
Yours
Arne

It looks like our problem is vista related. I was able to add the registry
entry to a friends machine who is running Windows XP and Office 2007 and it
worked. So i guess our issue is more vista related, but I still don't know how
to fix it :/

Hi,
I have the same problem. Vista x64, MS Office 2007.
Everything works fine on MS Office XP or MS Office 2003.

Hey guys,
I am using slide to open and modify office docs. For Office 2003
documents, there was that registry tweak that allowed files to be open
read-write. I recently installed Office 2007 and all the documents open
read only. Has anyone else encountered this and know a work-around?
Thanks!
Brian
