When users access any MS Word documents on our server with IE (via the web), they are presented with a username/password box. If they click cancel on the box, the Word document opens. The folder and files allow anonymous access and the Word file is not protected. Anyone know how to stop this from happening so that clicking on the .doc link just opens the file?

If your users are trying to open the document within an intranet or a web page created by your company, then the problem will be in the IIS setting for the web page. It does not seem to be Word that is password protected by your description.
Check the security settings on your Web (IIS). It sounds like it's set to both Anonymous AND Authentication.
