If I do not misunderstand you, Alfresco doesn't support online editing of Ms Word. You can try ACEOFFIX which is specified in MS Office files online editing,saving and reviewing. You can use it as a web component in your ECMS, things will become much easier.

That is not correct information….

To the original post:

Alfresco does support sharepoint. There are a couple of things that you can do to troubleshoot the error that you are getting.

Make sure the plugin for Firefox is installed. It should be something like Microsoft Office 2010 plugin. Also, make sure that it is enabled or allowed.

For the web dav part try this. Open word then go to file….open. In the look in bar type in the url to your alfresco install. https://fqdn.com:7070/alfresco

Lastly talk with your IT department to see who installed alfresco and ask if they also installed the sharepoint module.
