Well I generally just use copy paste to get stuff from Word docs in, but will give the import a try. What I did do is change the default heading formatting in Word, so it’s the same with Evernote’s. For example, after firstly summarizing a book in Word, I then copy to EN and everything is more easy to retrieve and navigate inside EN.

Typically I keep word files in a related folder. I dont like the EN viewer as much for word docs. It works but I’d rather prefer to open directly in the Word app with all editing feature directly available. I do like to store pdfs in EN.

On mobile i have: create, notes, tasks, widgets

Copy paste works well... I tend to use import for longer word docs. I like the idea of matching headings.

Well, I never knew you could do that! All these years I've been converting to PDF, copy and pasting or just attaching! Thanks for the tip!

I attach Word documents to preserve their formatting.

I don't use Word (W), I'm a dyed in the wool WordPerfect (WP) user and too old to change. EN doesn't speak WP ... If I receive a W document, WP will translate it or I can 'save [it] as' WP. Sending a W or WP document to EN - easiest for me is to cutandpaste, or (in WP) 'publish to .pdf' and send it from the File Explorer to EN.

I remember WP... didn't realise it was still going. I think if you export as a docx and import or copy paste. I've found importing useful for multi page documents.
