In bibisco, it's not possible to import files with the extension DOC, DOCX, ODT, TXT as a project.

It's only possible to import files with the extension .bibisco2, which are the files created by bibisco when you export your project as an archive.

To import what you wrote in your DOC/DOCX/ODT/TXT file, you have to create the chapters and scenes structure in bibisco and then copy and paste the text from your DOC/DOCX/ODT/TXT file into each scene.
