.doc file

has anyone tried using the QuickWord app ?
i've tried saving some .doc files into my phone but i cant view it
anyone has any idea how to go about it?
thanks

Yes it's a pain isn't it. It seems that the word viewer is really only meant to view word email atachments, send yourself a email and you will see it show up in the viewer file list.

However you can fool it by putting the files in a directory called \system\apps\quickword\

This works on either the internal c: drive or the e: memory card, its a bit tricky though as the built in file explorer cant see the system directory, so you need to use something like FE explorer or put the card in a PC.

Hope this helps

Is there a free software program that can read .doc files instead of quickword. (because i want to view .doc files in other maps.

I have tried to create "system" directory on the memory card but it says "the directory already exists". However, I can not see the directory with this name although hidden directories are selected to be visible. any help...
