MS Word doc import... when?

I have some tables in Word format that I would like to import. The option is available on the right, but a pop-up says coming soon. Can you update that pop-up to give an approximate date or year?

Getting used to Pyxlin basically takes clicking on everything to see what it will do. I was really thrown for a loop when trying to log back in to Pyxlin on another computer. I kept going to pyxlin.com, but my login never worked there. I finally checked my first email from Pyxlin after I signed up and saw the URL is actually pyxlin.familylearn.com. Ah hah!

Another experience like that was trying to figure out how to export my journal to a PDF. Nothing in the clickable options suggests a PDF export. So I went to Publish… download Press-Ready file and that was it. What a beautiful layout too.

Anyway, there are enough gotchas like that and I think my Mom (who bought a subscription, but hasn’t used it yet) might have trouble. I like where Pyxlin is headed, but I hope that they get there sooner, rather then later :-)

Thanks for the feedback. We are working on improving as fast as we can. We appreciate great feedback so we know what to do first. Our Word import is coming, but it is not ready to handle tables at this time. You might want to consider saving them as a jpg and uploading them as an image rather than a table in the text. The table feature is still a ways out.

You mentioned that your Mom might have some trouble. We have excellent customer service, so don’t hesitate to use it. We can walk her through any part of it, regardless of her prior computer knowledge. She’ll be a pro in no time. You can contact us via phone (888-326-5327) or email (info@familylearn.com). We look forward to helping her.

that’s a good workaround. I didn’t think about doing a jpeg. I’ll pass the contact info along to my mom. That will make her feel better about getting started. Thanks Liz for taking time to let us know the progress of the Word import.

A Word Add On or Import process would help me a lot. And, I agree, for this type of writing, we need to think .jpg as much as possible for anything other than plain text…I believe. I should wait until I have more experience, but intuitively, as this seems pretty intuitive a process and site (PYXLIN) ...so, I am happy to see WORD coming. This is the Word of the Journalists!

Thanks for the positive comments. Keep the suggestions coming. We are working on both the Word import and a Blog import that will be really helpful.
