   This depends on both the server and the browser. The server must send 
the do***ent with a appropriate "Content-Type" header entry, such as 
application/msword for Word do***ents. Then your browser must have a 
corresponding entry to call the appropriate application to view the
do***ent.
   For instance, in Mozilla go to Edit: Preferences...: Navigator: 
Helper_Applications to see what is configured there.
   Firefox just asks you what application to use for an unknown file type.
