So. They weren't text files they were word files, eh? I would either copy paste or export as text files (ending in txt not doc)
Have you tried opening them up in text edit on the Mac first and saving them from there as txt?

I have a bunch of short text files on my Mac that I want to put into the iPad. So I put them into the body of an email and then sent them to myself. I have both gmail and another address through my ISP, so one add can be in To and the other in From. When I open the email in the iPad, it goes through a download routine and each file will be in a little panel. Trouble is they had the Evernote icon. So I trashed Evernote. Next they had File Manager icon. So I trashed File Manager. I never use either and want the text in each file to be in my Notes app - I like Notes a lot and for what I want to do with those bits of (they are Ole & Lena jokes) Notes is perfect. Now each panel has the Mail icon. Well I can't dump that, of course. I suspect the problem is the text format - as I recall they were an old version of Word (about 3 steps back). Does the iPad iOS 8 (latest) prefer what text format to show the text and not a silly icon. My way is to copy/paste to Notes. Ideas anyone.
