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:
