Log in to zope's management interface (ZMI) and upload the document as
type "File".  Then link to it as normal content.

Zope will then set the correct MIME type for the browser.  If it is
Internet Explorer, then the document will open in Word; and if it is
another browser like Mozilla, it will ask to either download or open the
file.

If you want to force all browsers to download the document (instead of
viewing it) you will need to set some HTTP headers in a script, and have
the script pass through the document - instead of linking to the
document, you will need to link to that script.

This will not set the directory on the user PC, though.  I am not sure
if this can be controlled...

Is this what you are trying to do?
