Kura cannot currently read xml-tagged files or Shoebox files: that functionality is planned for the next release. You can add new texts using the New Text wizard, either by cutting and pasting text into Kura, or (recommended, especially for Windows users) loading it using the Load From File button in the New Text wizard. Make sure your text is saved as plain, untagged utf-8 text. Word has an export filter for that. Do not attempt to load Word .doc files. Importing Word .doc files will never be supported. You don't need the formatting for Kura anyway.
Exporting isn't supported either; it will be in the next release, both export to xml and to plain interlinear text, suitable for inclusion in word processors.
There is no import facility for lexical data, other than a custom script to
load the data in the database. However, I will be very glad to assist anyone
who wants to do this. It isn't hard. The same goes for exporting lexical data.
(Although you could use the following command: mysqldump [database] lng_lex
from the prompt).
