well, that is what i was thinking. In fact, when you see the content of any
RTF file though a DOS command prompt, you can see lines like the following:

\par }{\b\f35\fs24 DON\rquote T }{\b\i...... (etc, etc..)

that is some understandable but what about a word document. What kind of
instructions must be written in the servlet code in order to generate this
type of output file.

I must confess that i'm a little confused.

wouldn't this work?

Actually, just typing in msword in the place of vnd.ms-excel works.

You  have to set your mime type in the browser settings for the browser to
invoke word when it sees a ms-word content type.

Does anyone know how to invoke MS Word?  For instance, in my jsp I can
invoke Excel but not word:

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
<%-- Note that there are tabs, not spaces, between columns. --%>
