Create a book or import a DOCX manuscript

Start with a book title or import text, chapters and images from a Word file.

My Books offers two separate routes: “New Book” for an empty project and “Import Book” for an existing DOCX file.

Menu pathMy Books
My Books library with Import Book and New Book actions
Both actions appear above your existing book projects.

1. Create an empty book

Select “New Book”. The “Start a new book” window asks only for a title. After selecting “Create Book”, ManuBook opens the project. Subtitle, author name, status, word target and book design are handled later in the writing studio.

  1. Select “New Book”.
  2. Enter a book title.
  3. Confirm with “Create Book”.

2. Import a Word manuscript

Select “Import Book” and choose a DOCX file up to 25 MB. ManuBook analyses chapters, front matter, back matter, text and images and converts them into the writing-studio format. Word layout is cleaned up and missing standard pages are added.

3. Review the result

Open the imported book and check chapter titles, order, images and a few representative passages. You can rename, move or delete chapters afterwards. There is no merge-chapters action.

Done

Your new or imported book is ready as a separate project in My Books.
