Import a Word document

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).

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.
