Import a Microsoft® Office 2007 document

iA Writer Pro for Mac lets you import Microsoft Word .docx documents, and will convert basic formatting to the equivalent Writer flavored Markdown formatting.

Open iA Writer Pro

Import via iA Writer Pro’s File menu:

1. In iA Writer Pro, choose File ➤ Import….
2. Select the Microsoft Word .docx document you would like to import.

Import via iA Writer Pro’s Dock icon:

Drag and drop the Microsoft Word .docx document you’d like to import onto the iA Writer Pro icon in the Dock. Plain text files can also be opened this way.

Note: Importing Microsoft Word .doc documents is not supported. Please convert these documents from .doc to .docx format using Microsoft® Office 2007 or later before importing.

For more information on what formatting is imported, see Microsoft® Office 2007 .docx import/export details.
