Shaxpir 5.1: Import Microsoft Word (DOCX) Files
Benji Smith
May 25, 2025
Today's release includes one of our most long-requested features: the ability to import DOCX files into your Shaxpir workspace. I'm especially proud of our importer:
It recognizes the structure of your document, and builds a hierarchical manuscript based on the parts, chapters, and scenes in your document.
It recognizes images and captions, and includes them in your Shaxpir book.
It recognizes the cover artwork, title, subtitle, and other properties of your book.
We've also updated our exporters so that the DOCX files you export from Shaxpir can be re-imported seamlessly (into another Shaxpir account, for example) with full-fidelity.

For more details about the new import functionality, check out the new section in the Shaxpir Guidebook:
