There is an RTF writer for Ruby. YOu would have to program it yourself, but it looks fairly easy.

You can give a URL to the MS-Word open prompt (never tried it with OO, but might work, too).
You can also change the content-type of the page (on the server) and the browser will hand it off to another application.
Content-type:application/vnd.ms-excel
(since you said tables, I'm thinking it's spreadsheet-like data)
