Internet Explorer Link to word doc

This has been an annoyance of mine for a long time, but it's causing a real problem now. A link from Internet Explorer to a word document automatically opens in Internet Explorer. . . or rather a sort of integrated Word and Explorer.

This has been an annoyance of mine for a long time, but it's causing a real problem now.
 
A link from Internet Explorer to a word document automatically opens in Internet Explorer...or rather a sort of integrated Word and Explorer.
 
How do I stop Internet Explorer automatically opening this link in it's intergrated form of Word? I know you can right click and "save target as" but what I need is the standard download box to pop up asking if I want to open it or save it!
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks in anticipation.
