What version of Word are you using?
Try resending a old doc that you know worked before on the Fire and see if it still works.
If you are getting bounce back messages in your email it's not the Fire as it never reached it but it could be several of things on your end or something on Amazon's end. |
Thanks, Blossom and sirmaru, for all the suggestions.
I did try several times sending the docs that previously went there OK (some were revised, hence the need to send again), but still no joy. However, when I turned on my Kindle-1 whispernet, they all showed up. Go figure.
So, the only thing I did not think to try was to send them on the free email address. Sure enough, I got back the emails with a link to convert to .azw. I then dragged all those via USB, and finally, they showed up. Problem half-solved. Still, why could I not email
directly?
I use Lotus Wordpro (yeah, I know, but used it for years and no reason to go to Word), and it is very easy to convert docs to any of the several versions of Word that program lists (as well as .txt, and other types). The version I have been using for years for the Kindle-1 worked perfectly, as it did for the Fire for two months.
So, I tried each of the six versions, none of which worked. Then I downloaded the trial version of Word 2010 with .docx, and lo and behold, theat worked for sending by email. Problem 3/4 solved.
Why the ver 2000 and others did not work, I could not understand. But, and this is weird: after sending the .docx successfully, I went back and tried one of the older version that did not work before, and now it does. Freaky.
So, problem 100 percent solved. I'm a genius. If only I knew what the hell I did to fix it.
