"Save target as" is really the only option... I'd consider it a privacy issue otherwise (you could end up with all sorts of sh*t on your HDD otherwise)... unless their browser is set-up to automatically save certain mime types... Different browser behave differently... left-click isn't even an option for some users (macs and PDA's (?) are just one example)... My suggestion is to provide a help file on the topic... downloading files is pretty basic... Or, do they really need to download? Why can't you just create a HTML version of the doc, display it in the browser, and let them choose "save page as..." from the browser menu.
