Docx to SRT: Need solution of conversion in premiere pro.

It took me 3.5 hour to finally copy paste 547 lines cause there is no way to convert a docx file to SRT (Captions). I believe it would be a must to add a new feature so others don't waste an whole night trying to figure it out.

An SRT file is a Plain Text document with specific formatting.

As long as the Microsoft Word document (.docx) is formatted correctly for an SRT, save it as a Plain Text (.txt) file, and then in the Finder or Explorer change the file extension from TXT to SRT.

Import the SRT file using File > Import and then drag and drop it to the corresponding Timeline to create a Captions Track.

I've posted a brief sample of what the formatting looks like from THE LEGACY (1978) below.
