WORD Import

Jörg shared this question 5 days ago
Discussion Open

I wanted to import a larger Word document (exported from a PDF to Word) with images and tables into an MM with WORD. The message says "Some of the elements of... could not be fully imported."

I could live with that, but nothing happens!?
What can I do ?

If you haven’t done so already, try importing a simpler Word document to confirm that the MM import function is working properly. If it isn’t then you’ll probably have to contact technical support.

If it is, then there is obviously some issue with the document itself. PDF to Word conversions can result in very messy Word documents, for example with inconsistent paragraph styles, or none at all (MM Word import works best if the document uses consistent paragraph and header styles, as these establish the topic hierarchy). You can also end up with lots of tabs and paragraph returns in odd places, which doesn’t help.

You could try importing a segment of the document to see if that works - perhaps some specific element is causing the problem - or if it isn’t too long, editing it to clean it up and apply consistent paragraph styles.

Hallo Jörg,

ich finde in Deinem Beitrag keine Hinweise darauf, welche MM-Version Du verwendest, welchen Umfang Dein DOCX-File hat (Seiten in A4-Layout, KB-Dateigröße) - und manches mehr. Einen möglichen Tipp kann ich Dir also derzeit nicht geben.

Ich selbst importiere DOCX-Dateien erfolgreich in MM24, die 600 Seiten (A4-Layout) und mehr haben, mitsamt Tabellen, Grafiken etc.

Falls Dein DOCX-File nicht vertraulich oder DSGVO-sensibel ist, biete ich von hier aus einen Versuch an... ansonsten prüfe Deine Word-Objekte in der Datei (VBA ist Dein Freund).

Grüße,

Tobias

Hi Tobias I'm not sure what platform you're using to look at the forum or whether you can see the Properties, but under this Jörg has indicated he is using MM Enterprise version 23.1.240

Hi, I use MM on a company laptop and I couldn't update how I want....
It's a document with 184 pages with tables and pictures, I think the problem is the export before from pdf through word.
I didn't realy understand the hint from MM: "Some of the elements of... could not be fully imported." and that's all nothing happen.

Have you tried my previous suggestion to import a segment of the document to see if that works?
