Just downloaded the latest 4.7 ver of this, to convert Word .doc files to send directly to the Kindle. I'm obviously missing something simple, as can't figure out from any of the menus how to do this.

On the home page, there is an "Import Existing File" with a choice of HTML, Word or Text. If I hit "Word" go to Chose a File, and put in the file I want and the folder destination, all I get is an error message "Import Failed" under a heading of "Microsoft Internet Explorer." What the hell?

There does not seem to be away to change a document into one for the K, so how does that work, anyhoo?

I did read the help files but did not find a conversion method.
