Help with downloading a document

Hi,

I'm trying to apply for a job and I want to see the job spec. I have clicked to download it (which I managed to do a few weeks ago?) and it won't let me. I'm using firefox. A box comes up saying:
You have chosen to open RevAsst
which is a: application/msword (32kb)
from: http://jobsearch.kent.gov.uk
What should firefox do with this file?

It doesnt give word or adobe reader as an option and any other option (internet explorer, notepad etc) doesn't do anything.

Hoping someone can help as I can't apply without the job spec and there isn't any contact details on the page to get a paper copy :(

    save it to your hard disk, and open in word, assuming it's installed, use IE if you cant get firefox to work
