How can I import a .docx file in Google Docs?

Best Answer

It looks like your file isn't recognized as .DOCX file. Try download it and upload it again.

The following image shows a Google Drive thumbnail for a blank .DOCX file:

Please note that the icon shows a W.

NOTES:

Some apps that says that they create or export files to DOCX format rely on MS Word capabilities to fix malformed files and files having the wrong extension.

If downloading and uploading again doesn't fix the problem use MS Word to open the file then save it with another name and using the DOCX format.
