Roy,
   I've not streamed from a string, I've only streamed PDF using
Response.BinaryWrite(mybyte()) but I believe the key is to set the content
type using Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" for PDF file and
Response.ContentType = "application/doc" for the Word file. I believe that
will launch the desired app/plugin.

Hope this helps!
