Hello,
Very true, but there is no way of "forcing" a user to open a document in
Word.
You can try adding a no-right-click javascript to the page too. That'll
make most non-technical users use the open-link command rather than trying
to do a save as. However, like you mentioned, if you have "confirm open
when downloading" disabled in Microsoft Explorer, it'll still bring up the
save as screen I believe.
