[Export to Word (doc or docx) from iPad Storyist?]

Hi Dave,

Good to hear from you!

RTF (the original Word file format) is still the best way to get documents to Word. Support for .docx is on the list for a future release, although it's been on the list for a while and there are other higher-priority features above it. I probably won't add .doc or Pages support, since they are undocumented proprietary formats.

Good to hear from you too! Thanks for the info. I will mess around with the RTF export on iPad and see what I can do with it.

[Export to Word (doc or docx) from iPad Storyist?]

Just curious if I'll be able to export to MS Word from Storyist on the iPad in the future. I export to Word a lot on my MacBook Pro. If my MacBook Pro is in the shop, it would be nice to still be able to export to Word. (Actually, exporting to Pages would work also, since I could pick up the export in Pages and export to Word from there.)

I am a faithful Storyist user. I self-published my book, wrote several stories for local anthologies, and I am writing more stories about Super Holly Hansson. Storyist is super! https://davemstrom.wordpress.com/

[How to update KindleGen to 64-bit for Mac Catalina (and above)]

Today, I found out that my version of Storyist for my Mac could not generate a Kindle ebook (.mobi). Turns out I needed to replace my 32-bit KindleGen with 64-bit. And it turns out that Amazon no longer has a direct link to KindleGen. So I googled a bit, and found out how to get the KindleGen in Kindle Publisher. Here is what I did.

1. Download and install the latest Kindle Previewer from Amazon.
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765261
2. In the Applications folder, control-click the Kindle Previewer 3.app and select Open Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
3. You will see a folder called Contents. Copy it.
4. In your Applications folder, create a folder called “Kindle Previewer 3 app contents”. (Or whatever you like, but this name tells it like it is. And no quotes in the folder name, of course.)
5. Paste the Contents folder into the “Kindle Previewer 3 app contents” folder. (You can find kindlegen in there if you like, I have the path in the next step.)
6. Go through the process of exporting a Kindle (mobi) file in Storyist. When you get to Step 3: Enter Kindle options, change your KindleGen Location to:
   /Applications/Kindle Previewer 3 app contents/lib/fc/bin/kindlegen
7. Click Next to continue exporting your Kindle file.

Did you ever get a reply to this? I would be happy to convert it to .doc or rtf or whatever. Seems it would just be a matter of opening, exporting, and emailing.
