Import of epub-files back to AWP?

[Kiruhdu]

Is there any chance to get Atlantis to import epub.files?

This way Atlantis would be a fully and more than great epub-editor...

There is a very simple workaround: before saving a document to EPUB, place a copy of the original DOCX or RTF document in a safe place on your system. When you have an EPUB file and you want to edit it, simply go back to the original DOCX or RTF document. And resave it to EPUB when you have finished editing it.

Thank you Robert.
I know this workaround. But this way I can only work on epubs I have made myself. The other way I could work on any epub!
And Atlantis would be the first full-featured epub-editor on the market.

You can use any of the many online converters like Online EPUB Converter, for example.

Wow, I did not know about that online converter. I will give it a try.

The free Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com) is also good at conversions. You can convert from epub to something like .docx, but I have not tried that particular conversion. Calibre is also an ebook manager. It is one of the "must-have" programs, in my view, if you work with ebooks.

Calibre is a great program, but it is a little difficult to learn to use. If you just want to do a conversion, you might try the online converter that Robert mentioned (and I will, too).

I tested a couple of epub files. I wanted to convert them to .docx files.

I used the online converter and also the free Calibre program.

Results were about the same. The main problem was loss of spacing between paragraphs.

However, the converters produced very clean styles with the names:

Normal

• Par 01
  Par 02
  etc.

I was then able to modify the styles quickly in Atlantis. You should be able to clean up a typical document in Atlantis in just a few minutes.
