9.1 Word Mobile
Word Mobile is a streamlined version of Microsoft Word. Word documents created on your
PC can be opened and edited on your device. You can also create and edit documents and
templates in Word Mobile and save them as *.doc, *.rtf, *.txt, and *.dot files.
You can have only one document open at a time. When you open a second document, the
first one is saved and closed automatically.
When you close a newly created document, it is automatically named after the first several
words in the document and placed in the Word Mobile document list. You can easily rename
the document with a more meaningful name and move it to another folder or a storage card.

In Word Mobile, tap New.

You'll see either a blank document or template, depending on what you've selected as
the default template.

Enter text as desired.
4.
When finished, tap OK to save and close the file.
