The Microsoft suite of tools looks for data in /My Documents folders on all memory locations. So you should put Word/Excel files on CF and SD cards in /My Documents or a subfolder. I'm pretty sure it will search down the subfolders. If not, you can use File Explorer to find the file and then tap on it and the appropriate app will open.

If you put the first such document in the root directory and there is no /My Documents folder, the o/s adds the ignoremydocuments folder so that when it scans the directory for /My Documents it knows there isn't one there. From that point on, it will search the entire card every time you open Word or Excel, creating a HUGE slowdown in starting those applications.

So, that's why Mizar suggested what he did. It will pay off in the long run!
