    I’ve built a couple of literary magazine sites that allow authors to submit by pasting articles into a simple SAEF.  For a new site I’ve been asked if it is possible to make a more advanced system: can we upload a .doc file and then have EE import the file into the database as a new entry, or preferably into the field of an entry submitted with the file?

    This was hard to explain; hope I made it clear. Any advice on this gratefully accepted!

    Not out of the box, you could likely build a custom module for this.  You could attach it out of the box, just not have the contents imported.
