To send a Word document via WhatsApp on your phone, follow these detailed steps:

1. Create or Open the Document: First, you need to have the Word document ready on your device. If you haven't created one yet, open Microsoft Word and create or select an existing document.
2. Save the Document: Ensure that the document is saved in a location accessible from your phone. Common locations include Google Drive, Dropbox, or your phone’s internal storage.
3. Locate the Document: Use your file manager app to navigate to where you saved the Word document. Alternatively, if you used cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox, open the respective app and find the document there.

8. Send the Document: After reviewing the document and any additional message, tap on the send button (usually represented by an airplane icon). The Word document will now be sent through WhatsApp.
9. Confirm Delivery: You can check if the document was successfully delivered by looking for a double-check mark next to the message in your chat history. If it’s a single check, the recipient has received the message but not yet opened it.

By following these steps, you should be able to seamlessly send any Word document through WhatsApp on your phone.
