[Zope] CMF: extending MSWord Document product

Using Zope 2.3.1, I installed a product MSWordDocument from
zope.org/Products--transparent conversion to HTML of any MSWord.doc. Once
installed, I can add an instance of the product through the
*local_host/manage* screen. Is there a way to extend this product that I can
use it in my CMF portal?

I have read the following How-To:
	Minimal Zope programming How-to *maxm
	Minimal Zope programming How-to - The Sequel *maxm
	PortalPoll  *DaveW
	Taming The Wild Types Tool  *Tres Seaver
	Scriptable Type Information  *Tres Seaver
But with no succesful results. Has anyone succesfully created a portal_type
to use with this product?
