Given an Extension to your Visual force page with the below code:

contentType="application/msWord#yourFile.doc"

So, your word will be downloaded without displaying a new window.

Hope it helps you.

  • Strange. Any errors? Have you checked any wrong typos in contentType?

  • I hope you're developing the VF page in respective instance only. In that case, it will redirected and remain in same VF page. Please disable the Development Mode and test the button. You will get your expected behavior.
