Hi can we convert microsoft word document to Adobe InDesign book? When I tried to open microsoft word document into Adobe InDesign, the software gave error as unsupported document.
If you know any workaround that will help a lot.

I think I should have done more searching as I got the solution at youtube. I found a link for "InDesign tutorial: How to import Microsoft Word files" which explains the process. I will still keep the question as a record for the where you can find the solution. – Amol Patil Mar 22 '17 at 6:58

If you have found a way to do that, you can answer your own question. – Sekhemty Mar 22 '17 at 11:36
Follow these steps:
- Create an
.indddocument - Set the page margins and document properties to mirror what you have on Microsoft word, or — better still — set these properties based on how you want your book to be.
- Select File -> Place or
Ctrl+D - From the dialog box, select the Microsoft Word file
- Go through the Microsoft Word Import Options making sure you select what pertains to preserving the formatting of your work.
- Import and apply character styles to your taste.
