Allowing users to download download docx files

I'm having a problem allowing users to download DOCX files with IE8 specifically.

If you go to http://cumminspowerdocs.com/downloads/index.php?id=54 you will see what I mean. Even if you right click "Save As" it offers to save it as a text file.

To fix this I went to: Tools > Configuration > Scroll down to "Custom content types" and then added the following Custom content type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

This was based on this page: http://filext.com/faq/office_mime_types.php

Keep in mind I already have this loaded: application/vnd.ms-word in that area.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if .docx is a binary format, but have you tried setting that to 'yes'?

Lucas - where would I set that to "yes"?

System > Content Types > your .docx type

If it's in Evo I don't know...

I don't seem to have this area. The closest thing I have is Tools >Configuration > Custom Content Types. And there is no binary format option there.
