Ok, I do have the calibre software someone mentioned so i guess i could convert them to mobi files. But you mention sending the .doc files as e-mail attachments.
Various people have suggested various ways of doing the conversion: they are all right, and you could use any of those methods.
However, my advice would be to use calibre.
I've never done comparisons, but having played around with ebook conversion in the past, pre-calibre, my suspicion would be that the results of converting using calibre to go text -> mobi will be better than the results going text -> doc -> email conversion (unless you spend time tidying up the doc, removing line breaks etc), and better than the results if you send the text to the Kindle.
I'm pretty much positive that the conversion epub -> mobi will be better done by calibre!
In addition, as NogDog suggests, if you install the Kindle for PC app, you can put the books in calibre, have it convert them, and then look at them on the Kindle for PC app (or in the calibre built-in reader) and see them as they would appear on the Kindle. This will give you the best idea of what the results will be.
Calibre can also automatically send the documents by email to your free.kindle address, or send them via USB if the Kindle is connected.
TL
R summary: use calibre!
