Storing other files than images on a canon

[willebra]

Does anybody know of a software or other method which would allow the user to store other files than images on a camera (e.g. word documents)?

I'm using an A40 (which has a compact flash card reader). This should be possible, but is there a software that would allow to write other than images on the camera?

Thanx in advance,
willebra

If you get a card reader (typically connects to the computer via USB), you can put any file types you want on a CF card. It can be used like a mini-hard drive and transport files to another computer if you like.

The potential problem, though, is that the camera may puke if it finds stuff on the CF card that it didn't put there. Bottom line suggestion - don't mix camera files with other types, and you'll not see any problems.
