My talented  listmates,

I've watched several YT videos (most turned out to be incorrect) and chatgpt'd this without success.

If one prefers not to use OneDrive (or other online storage) but wishes to drag over a text file created in Word (Libre Writer, etc.) to your android cell phone to either text out to another as an attachment or to copy/paste into a text message to someone have you found any step-by-step directions which word for you?

This would be for longer text messages.

Thank you!

Charles.

There's quite a few simple file transfer websites you could give this a try: 

Upload the file from the computer, open the link on your phone and it should work.

I would probably try to do this by copying a plain text file (.txt) over
a USB connection. Plug the phone into the computer and a notification
should appear on the phone giving options for what to do with the USB
connection. There should be an option like "transfer files" or perhaps
"MTP" and when you select this the phone should show up as a storage
device on your computer.

Then you can move or copy a text file you've created onto the phone,
find and open it using the phone's file browser app, and then copy
contents to paste into your messenger app.
