Reading word documents in iphone

Murari · 12-26-2012, 09:59 AM

Hi all, I am a newbie in this forum and certainly not a techie

I have the following irritating problem with my iphone 3GS. I am an accountant who has lot of word documents to read. I used some apps to read word documents in iphone. The font size looks small to read comfortably. I am not able to increase the font size with out zooming. When i zoom, the contents go off the screen and I have to go left and right to read which is even more difficult. Is there any apps which will make the fonts bigger enough to read with out the contents going out of the screen.

Pls help. Thanks.

Moved to the Apple forum. You're much more likely to get help if you post in the correct forum!

DocsToGo is a nice app for viewing and editing MS Office documents, spreadsheets, etc.

I also recommend DocsToGo as the office suite for iPhone. However, if you only want to read, not edit Word documents, you also have these options:

open the Word files in Mobipocket Reader, which will instantly convert them to the Kindle-format, so that you can then read your Word documents in the Kindle app on your iPhone.
it should also be possible to e-mail your Word documents to Amazon for instant conversion into the Kindle format.
re-save the Word document as filtered HTML in Word, then feed the HTML file into Calibre and save as an EPUB file, so you can then read it in a regular e-book reader on your iPhone, like Stanza or iBooks.

If these options sound complicated, they really aren't -- all a matter of seconds.
