Hi,

You'll have to send the right headers too from the server.

 From PHP for example:
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=worddoc.doc");

Maybe a few more headers are needed.
Try the above, and Google around.

Good luck.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
