You'll be wanting Apache as a web server. It runs fine under Windows
these days. Run it on your own desktop if you have to (although try
to find a machine with a stable IP address).
For editing, you really should use a text editor, not WYSIWYG. In the
corprorate environment you're going to be pushing standardised content
through standardised presentations. This is CSS and boilerplate
territory, not WYSIWYG.
Then throw the whole thing away and use a wiki instead of plain HTML.
It's a _vastly_ better option: better features, simpler to use, costs
are small. In fact, buy my new book (which sadly I still can't talk
about) on installing wikis onto corporate intranets.
Word, IIS, FrontPage and filesystem-based hosting are so ridiculous as
to be beneath contempt. If you work for any sort of IT business
that's still so clueless, leave now.
There's no point in even talking about doing filesystem-based
hosting. Just stop it.
