Important: Close the Word .docx file in Microsoft Word before importing it to Designrr.

Before starting - check you have formatted the Word Docx first - read this

In the Dashboard, start by clicking on the '+Create' button found on the upper right side.

You will be asked to fill in the blanks of a few questions.

Click on the word 'Project' and choose between eBook or audiobook. Select 'eBook'.

Then you will be asked to pick among one of the available eBook formats. This list will vary depending on the plan you have. This option can be changed anytime after you create the project.

Select the source of your content. Choose 'Upload File/Insert Link' > Import from Word DOCX

If your Word docx file is located on your computer’s hard drive, or a removable drive where you do not have a link to the file, you can use the “Browse” option to navigate to a file stored locally.

Select or drag and drop the Word file from your computer

If your Word file is stored online, copy and paste the Word DOCX link

Note: do not try to import files saved inside a secured area - this is - it needs login details to access the file. Designrr can only import publicly accessible files.

For this tutorial we will upload a Word file saved in our computer using the 'Browse' blue link. Click on 'Next'.

After the file has been uploaded you will see a screen similar to this one. Click on 'Let's start'.

The imported WORD DOCX will open in the in the DOCS section.

Check if the imported content is properly formatted or add some more content using Wordgenie if needed. If everything is ok, click on 'Choose a template'.

In the template section select a template for your project by clicking on the thumbnail of your chosen template, but keep in mind the outcome before selecting a dynamic or a regular template

make sure you read these very important tutorials as well:

You can use any template for any topic. You can customize the template colors/cover as you want. The templates are just a starting point, but all aspects can be customized to your needs - this only applies for the regular templates.

Just do not delete any of the header or footer containers or elements in the cover as these are needed for the correct PDF creation. A template is a collection of fonts, styles, colors, a cover and a back page.

Even if it's not your niche - you can still use any template and simply switch out the cover page for something more relevant, you can surely find a new image for your cover in the image database. Just replace the cover image with any other that fits your market.

Let's use the Plain Vanilla regular template.

Your Word file has been successfully imported to the project editor inside the template we chose in the previous step. First thing to do BEFORE ANYTHING IS EDITED - Click on the save button found in the bottom left side and make sure you see the confirmation that it has been saved:

At this point your ebook is almost ready as it only needs the final touches before is finished.

If the formatting work was done properly, there should be minimal content editing work to do if any.

See if you have to change the cover image, add page numbers or insert page breaks to have your chapters starting in a new page. Finally, when all is done, add the table of contents.

Once the project is ready, click on the blue 'Publish' button and export the file as PDF, that will give you a real preview of how your ebook looks like. Don't worry about publishing the PDF. The designrr.s3.amazonaws.com link we provide to deliver the PDF is for internal use only, is just for you to preview and download your projects, is not to be shared.

Once your project is completed you have to generate and download the PDF to your computer. From there, you can email it or upload it to your website or any cloud based storage you may be using.
