Import a Word document

Tom Krowka — Sat, 27 Mar 2004 22:40:38 GMT

I am trying to import a word .doc into AC. Apparently, the only way to do this is through cut and paste. However, I can only get the first page of a two page document. I tried going back to the word doc., and cleared the clipboard, then copied the second page. Upon pasting into AC, I get the first page.

I also tried it in Plotmaker, under file/import. I still can only get one page.
I resaved the word .doc in a txt. format, still only the first page.

Any suggestions?

That is correct. You can only import the first page of Word documents in Plotmaker (or ArchiCAD).

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the heads up. I will update you if I come across anything better.

I wonder which program has the limitation, word or AC.
