Importing Word documents

Lunedo imports Word documents (.docx) into a new space. Each document becomes a page. For an overview of all sources, see Imports.

Steps

1. In the step Source, choose Word documents.
2. In the step Upload, add one or more .docx files: up to 50 per import and 100 MiB each, or less if Largest export to upload (see Import settings) is lower.
3. Under Pages, choose One page per document or A subpage per top-level heading. Changing this reads the documents again.
4. Fill in the step Space and start the import in Check and start.

Save older .doc files as .docx first.

What is taken over

• Each document becomes a page named after its title, or after the file name when it has none. With A subpage per top-level heading, every top-level heading starts a subpage of the document’s page.
• Headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and links are taken over.
• Images become attachments of the page.
• Footnotes and endnotes become numbered notes at the end of the page.
• Embedded objects such as spreadsheets become attachments, with a report entry.
• Word comments are left out, with a report entry.

Refused documents

• Documents with macros are never run or imported. .docm files are refused when they are added, and documents with macro parts are refused while reading.
• Encrypted, damaged and old .doc files fail with a message that names the file.
• Documents larger than 100 MiB, or than Largest export to upload if that is lower, are refused.
• A document whose text or converted parts are too large is left out with a report entry; the other documents are imported.

Lunedo converts documents on the server with mammoth, without a browser or office suite. Before converting, it checks each document like an archive and rebuilds it without embedded objects and macro parts.

Re-importing documents

Newer versions of the same documents can be imported into the same space with a re-import. Lunedo recognizes each document by its file name.
