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.
