Basically, if the browser is unsure what to do with a file, it will open the download box, however if Word is installed on the client PC, it may open a word document in the browser or provide a download option depending on how the user has set that option.

Getting the Save dialog is a Windows issue, not a browser one.
(Though there are a couple workarounds, they are cumbersome and not cross-browser able.)
