What happens when I import a DOCX document?
Overview
The workspace extracts a stable text representation for reading, searching, coding, and project exchange. Headings and paragraphs are retained where possible, but the workspace is not a word processor and does not reproduce every page-layout or styling detail from Microsoft Word.
What to do
- Open the imported document and compare the paragraph order with the original.
- Check tables, text boxes, footnotes, and unusual multi-column layouts carefully.
- Keep the original DOCX as part of your research archive.
