Just offer them a link to the next page. Put &amp;format=word in as the 
query string if they choose the 'view word document' link or no query 
string if they choose the plain text view as html page. Then go for

if ($_GET["format"]=='word') {
        header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word");
}

Really, offering your customers what they want is what we're all about - 
you have to take some responsibility for implementing snippets of code like 
this ;-)

Cheers - Neil

hi,

header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word"); is not what my customers
want. They may or may not want to save it in their harddisk.. but having the
header at the beginning of my page will force them to save it in their
harddisk. Some of the customers just want to view it on the web while others
want to view it in Word and possibly edit it and then save it.. how can i
achieve such flexibility for them?

thank you!!

regards,
hwee
