dprisoner Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Our current workflow has us linking to Word documents. Is there any plans on the Insert Text from File function allowing an import from Word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Currently, you would need to save out the DOCXor DOC as an RTF format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSmith Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I've just bought Publisher today and would like to import a Word document. Not essential but I want to learn what publisher can do). In Affinity Publisher Help it says:- "Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Word content can also be added to Publisher using a simple copy and paste, with the latter being importable using its DOCX file format." It then proceeds to tell you about PDF importing but there's no further mention of Word. I can't for the life of me to get anything to go in. What am I missing? Must I save as RTF as stated above, in which case why does Help not say so? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanPickup Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 To import a word docx create an apub document then use file use File>Place and select the word document and place in the apub document, this is the same as importing a PDF I think.

Importing a .docx file gives you all the text, formatting, and images in the .docx file. It's better to create a Text Frame first, and Place the file into it, by the way, in my opinion. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this thread was current (early beta), RTF & plain text files were the only means of importing text. That is no longer true, so if you haven't tried to directly import a .docx, go ahead and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microjez Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I cannot find .docx in the list of file types that can be placed? (See screenshot). Am I missing something? I am using Af Pubisher in Windows, Release 1.7.3.481. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
