Will Affinity Publisher be able to import word documents in the near future


Recommended Posts

Dear Friends,

I have been using Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer and I like them very much. I also like Affinity Publisher but it will not be particularly useful to me (and I will not be purchasing it) unless/until it can import microsoft word documents. Is this planned and, if so, when?

Many thanks,

Cory Sea

Only just above your thread there is a six page sticky thread discussion of docx import.

Until Affinity Publisher supports anchored / attached objects in flowing documents docx import is not going to be satisfactory to anyone with more than text in their files. There's an orderly way to develop Affinity Publisher and we are building from the ground up. All in good time.

Hello

Try export word to pdf and open pdf in designer or publisher

Hello @Iztok,

import of Word files (.docx) was introduced a couple of weeks ago before the initial release. It's not neccessary anymore to convert to PDF first :)

I am confused. Why do you emphasize IMPORT? You can place a .docx which would be my equivalent for import. True is, you cannot open a .docx with APu.
