All users connecting via WebDAV must authenticate for any MS Office
application to work, especially on Windows platforms, otherwise you will be
read only version of the file. Anonymous connections via Windows will not
work due to the locking of the file.
As far as merging is concerned, since all MS Office application files are
binary, there is no merging available. It will simply overwrite the
previous version.
