I know many of you long time users know about this tip but I find that many new Blackberry Users are not aware that they have the ability to do this so I decided to write a how to for them!

This isn’t a difficult process but you will need a PC with Word, Excel and Powerpoint installed.  You need to create a Blank document in each application so you end up with 3 files; Blank.doc, Blank.xls and Blank.ppt.  Now copy these 3 files onto your Micro SD Card to whatever Folder you’re going to use with your Docs To Go.  I created a Folder on my SD Card and named it Documents this is the main folder for my Docs To Go Documents but of course I have subfolders depending on what document I’m creating.
