Importing Word Documents

How to Import

Drag and drop a .docx file onto the home page or editor canvas. You can also click the upload button and browse your files.

Supported formats:

• .docx (Word) — full fidelity
• .pdf — converted to editable document
• .pptx (PowerPoint) — opens in Slides editor
• .xlsx (Excel) — opens in Sheets editor
• Images (.png, .jpg, .webp) — attached to documents

What's Preserved

Optimaite's parser is built for legal-grade fidelity. When you upload a Word document, we preserve:

• Text formatting — fonts, sizes, colors, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
• Paragraph styles — named styles with full inheritance chains
• Numbering — legal numbering (1.1.1), letter lists, multi-level numbering definitions
• Tables — borders, shading, merged cells, conditional formatting, banding
• Headers & footers — per-section, first-page different, odd/even
• Track changes — insertions, deletions, moves, formatting changes
• Comments — threaded, with author and date
• Images — inline and floating, with positioning
• Shapes & text boxes — with text content
• Fields — page numbers, TOC, cross-references, SEQ fields
• Bookmarks — for cross-referencing
• Footnotes & endnotes

Tips for Best Results

• Use .docx format (not .doc) for the best fidelity
• Complex VML shapes may render approximately — the content is preserved even if positioning is slightly different
• Documents with custom fonts will use the closest available web font
• Very large documents (500+ pages) may take a few seconds to process
