Import Word

[JimKCY]

Hi. I am new on this forum.  So new that I am still in my trial period.  I am keen on Affinity and have read up before I started but it is very overwhelmingly different from the Word that I am used to.  I have formatted a book in Word and have placed the file in a new book I created on Affinity and this is what I got after following instructions in this forum, tutorials and ChatGPT (They all said the same thing but honestly, ChatGPT's advise was the most comprehensive.)  What did I do wrong?  Can you point me to a good tutorial on formatting a Word file in Affinity?

Having followed ChatGPT instructions! 😁

A good primer to page formatting in Publisher can be found in Affinity's YT channel:

There is also the excellent alternative manual created by @MikeTO:

There are steps in the getting started section of my manual to walk you through creating a document and importing text into it from Microsoft Word.

So.... Google was not working for you?

But in al seriousness, start with the basic tutorials on the Affinity YT channel, and do some searching for Word>Publisher videos if themanual isn't fully clear to you.
But if you're still stuck at some point, come back here.
