So I think SMBplus won't do anything and depending on the windows versions you use downgrading smb protocol mays not be a good idea.
Can you try with AFP, with a document you know is opened by you mac locally ? As I said earlier I think the message said it couldn't open word, not that word couldn't open the file.
I did the following: Turned NFS off, Put a checkmark in the box "Allow anonymous access" under AFP.
The "Folder not showing up" problem seem to be solved.
Opening any files in shared folder seem to be a problem. Word, Excel, Pdf etc.
I just got a new message opening word and excel files "Program cannot be opened -120"
For a short while I could actually open a few doc files, then the same problem appeared again.
Edit: Same problems again with folders not showing up, and folders showing up as documents
