   Well, if you want it to ask everytime, heres what you do   
      
   Netscape-->Preferences-->Navigator-->Helper Applications*   
      
      
   find the entry that pertains to ms.word documents   
   application/msword      and highlight it   
   then hit REMOVE   
   this removes the listing from helper applications   
      
   Now, the next time you run into a msword document, Netscape wont know   
   what to do with it, so it will ask you   
   You can assign any function (open with, save to disk) you wish.   
   Simply dont click the checkbox to remember (Always perform this action   
   with files of this type) and it will always ask   
      
      
   Note:  Thats the Macintosh path, your path may vary but its in   
   Preferences-->Navigator-->Helper Applications
