Ensure you are using the latest 2.4.X or 2.5.X version of Zope.
They contain workarounds for some related problems with WebDAV
and Office (Office 2K should work). Some people reported
similiar problems with Office 2002. As these problems are caused
by a non-standard WebDAV implementation it is very hard to solve
this particular problem.
