I have been having trouble with the way that word documents open from my
FrontPage site. For instance; I have a word form that has quite a few drop
down fields in it. if I open the document through the file system the drop
downs work fine. However, when I open the document from the Intranet (which
is using an anonymous user acount to access files) the document opens in
(control toolbox)design mode and in order to use the drop down fields you
must exit design mode. Also, is there any code that allows me to specify that
someone can only download or open a file rather than give them a choice?
 
The first part of your post is really a Word question, but if you're saving
the document as HTML, try saving it as doc. Otherwise, isn't there an option
that locks the user out of Word design mode?

As to forcing a download rather than opening the document in IE, this can
get ugly but browse:
