If you want to store word documents (or any other file/document) on the iPad then you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports word documents - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.


If you want to be able to edit (and create) word documents then the options include Apple's Pages app and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice Pro HD. If you just want to store them then there are apps such as GoodReader. You can use the Mail app's 'open in' function to copy/store attachments into other apps.


To then attach a document to an email you need to start in the app that contains the document and use that app's functionality (if it has it) to select and attach the document to an email.
