Do you want to have Firefox open a .doc file in Word when there is a
link to it (e.g., something of the form <http://www.foo.com/bar.doc>)?
If the Web server is Apache, you need to ensure the proper MIME type is
set. In .htaccess, you should have
AddType application/msword doc
(Note that there is no period in front of "doc".)
Also, I believe the .doc file needs to be uploaded in binary mode to the
Web server.
Just be aware that the file might not open for someone using a non-PC
platform and a word-processing application other than Word. However,
this should work for applications such as Wordstar that accept
Word-formatted files.
