Interesting the following works
Changing the " to '. If I leave the ' around the filename, the ' becomes part of the filename. But it seemed to be more about changing the surrounding ' to " that fixed it. Not sure why this is, but its working now.
header('Content-Type: application/msword');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=PurchaseReq.doc");

What happens if you drop the quotes around the filename?
