We are loading Word documents via an HTML page using <a href >. The content
of the document changes fairly rapidly so we'd like to set an immediate
expiration date for the Word document. We cannot make people turn off their
caching so we need a way to force the Word document to lead each time.,
otherwise they aren't guaranteed to get the latest copy.

We've used the <META HTTP-EQUIV "EXPIRES" CONTENT="0"> in our web pages to
ensure those always get the latest content. But what I think I need is a way
to tell the browser not to cache the document I am about to load.
