Importing

Importing Word and Markdown

Import DOCX, Markdown, and plain-text files into a Verkilo project.

If your work lives in Word documents, Markdown, or plain text, Verkilo can import it directly.

Supported files

  • Word (.docx) — formatting and chapter structure are preserved.
  • Markdown (.md) — headings become structure; emphasis carries through.
  • Plain text (.txt) — imported as clean prose you can then divide into sections.

Splitting into sections

After importing a long document, break it into sections at your scene or chapter boundaries so you can reorder and tag them. A well-sectioned manuscript is what makes the corkboard and outliner useful.

Cleaning up

Imported formatting is normalized to Verkilo’s clean style, so your exports stay consistent no matter where the text originally came from.
