Hi,

Probably your browser is misconfigured. I don't think this is a tomcat
issue.
Check the file type associations in your browser and make sure that xls
files are configured to be opened by msexcel.
Also check the .doc file association, if it is opening properly, it
should be configured to be opened by msword.
