My friend says to your friend:
*
Text and document file formats are different. Trying to read a document in a text file app usually fails.
*
Different versions of Microsoft Word docs have different file formats.
*
What's the actual name of the disappointing reader app?
*
Microsoft Word Android app ought to work on the Moto if it's a recent Droid. Try the latest Word for Droid on the Moto.
*
From Windows Word, try export/save-as of the doc in various different formats to see which format the suspect Droid document app can handle: docx, doc, odt, xps, rtf, pdf, txt, etc.

Subject: [EXTERNAL EMAIL] [CODE4LIB] Text Editor - Motorola cell phone
My esteemed listmates,
A friend has a Motorola Android cell and when she downloaded Word to that
cell phone and a highly touted doc reader neither could open a Word file
she transferred to her cell phone from a laptop running W11.
Have you found a "go-to" text editor which works well on a Motorola?
Word works on my Samsung.
Thank you kindly!
Charles.
