output the document as binary data, and set the content-type to "application/msword".

Are you positive that browsers are capable of displaying a word document properly? I've never heard of them being able to.

Of course Internet Explorer can do that. Other browsers deal with that by running Word itself and making it display the document, or at least sometimes they can be configured to do so. (Firefox can.) That's on Windows, anyway. No idea if a similar process works on Macs.

Now that you pointed that out, it completely makes sense that IE would do that. I didn't know about FF though, thanks!
