# Automatically save files on a storage card

In the Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Notes programs, you may find it helpful to save directly on a storage card all new documents, notes, and workbooks you create.

1. From the program file list, tap Menu > Options.
2. With a storage card inserted in the device, in the Save to box, tap the appropriate storage card to save new items on the storage card automatically.
3. Tap OK.

Note

In the file or note list, the storage card symbol is displayed next to the names of files saved on a storage card.

# Open a file

There are several ways to open an item such as a Word Mobile document, an Excel Mobile workbook, a picture, a note, or a PowerPoint Mobile presentation.

- Open a program. In the file list, tap the file you want to open. If you don't see the file in the list, make sure you've chosen the correct folder in the folder list (labeled All Folders by default).
- Open File Explorer, navigate to the appropriate folder, and tap the file you want to open. Files that have been saved to Main Memory appear in My Documents.
- From within an e-mail message, tap the attached file you want to open.

Important note

If the Word document or Excel workbook was previously saved on a PC, data and unsupported formatting may be lost when you save the file.

Note

You can have only one document, workbook, or note open at a time. When you open a second item of the same type, the first one is saved and closed automatically.
