By default browser does not understand every type of files - Word documents is one of them...
How it opens them? The browser reads the mime-type of the file, looks into the OS to find a registered application that understand that mime-type and passes activates the application with the content of that file...
There is a possibility to create a plugin that actually adds a file viewer to the browser (like Adobe's pdf viewer) but Microsoft do not supply such plugin...
So it is not in your hand, and can not be forced by you...
