Hi, when you have a link to a Word document or a PDF document and you have the software installed, when the link is pressed the document is AUTOMATICALLY opened in Word rather than giving you the option to Save or Open from Current location. Can i stop this Auto-Opening from happening?

If you do a search on this site for "downloading known file types" or the like, you will find some past discussions that people have had about this...
You can tell your user to right-click and then "save target as..." or you can zip the file to let them download it -- and I think there were a few more suggestions made by others as far as encoding the file or something... can't remember exactly what they were, but they're here somewhere.
good luck!
