Adding contacts: FAQ not helpful to this newbie

According to the FAQ, I should:

Open the particular document you wish to share and click on the 'Share' link present in the first row of document editor.

OK
  • A pop-up layer or bubble with the heading 'Share Document' will open on top of the document.
The pop-up has, on the title bar, "Share This Document" with the document name.  Perhaps that is the "heading" referred to?
  • Enter the email addressess of the friends with whom you would like to share the document.
There are no unprotected fields.  If I click on "Add user," such a field appears.  I enter an email address.
  • An email with the subject 'Document Shared to You on Zoho Writer' will be sent to each of them along with the link of the shared document.
This doesn't happen.
  • You can also customize the email subject line and body by enabling the 'Specify Content' and entering your own text.
Still no email.
  • Finally, specify the access permission (Read Only or Read/Write) for the shared document
OK
      
      & click on the 'Share' button.

Well, there's the "Share This Document" title bar and the "Share" button in the grayed background page.  I click on both.  I then click on "Shared Details" in the foreground.  Under "Shared Members" I am informed that "No users / groups have been invited."  Invitations aside, is the document shared?  I do not know how to tell my intended users how to link to it, and they do not receive emails with this information even after I close out of everything.
