Importing from Word

Unread post by WrightStuff »

I'm importing a lot of content from Word and the formatting goes, there are big spaces between lines, not sure how to delete them, or is there some kind of import tool for Word?

Hi Stephen,

How are you "importing"? You need to save the Word file as RTF and then use the Help+Manual import tools for Word RTF files. See this help chapter to learn how to import to a new or existing project:

https://www.helpandmanual.com/help/hm_w ... tdata.html

The individual settings for specific import formats are in the Settings for importing data topic.

Hi,

save the word as an RTF file and import that. Still a lot of massaging the result is neccessary.

Hope this helps,
