  Below you’ll see how to import your manuscript using the Pressbooks docx importer.<\/p>\n

  This importer will bring in all your chapters, and basic styling (italic, bold, lists, H2, H3, paragraph breaks, etc).<\/p>\n

  Note that the importer will import only BASIC<\/strong>\u00a0styling. It should not import font choices, colors, etc.<\/p>\n

  The cleaner your Word file is to begin with, the less cleanup you’ll need to do to your book in Pressbooks.<\/p>\n

  To use the MS Word importer, see instructions below, and screenshots below that.<\/p>\n

  \n
  1. Prepare your docx file:\u00a0First, using the Styles menu (not the formatting menu) in Word, make sure you apply NORMAL styling to the entire document; and apply Heading1 style to your chapter headings.<\/li>\n
  2. In Pressbooks, go to: Left Menu\/Tools \u2014> Import.<\/li>\n
  3. Select: File Type: docx<\/li>\n
  4. Choose your file from your computer<\/li>\n
  5. Upload<\/li>\n
  6. Select which content\/sections you want to import<\/li>\n
  7. Decide whether the content\/sections are: front-matter, chapters, or back-matter<\/li>\n
  8. Import<\/li>\n
  9. Arrange your chapters in the right order<\/li>\n
  10. Test some exports, clean up markup, and off you go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
