Download Confluence Page As Word Document EXCLUSIVE
Stefanie Lebon
When the upload has finished, pages will be created with the content of the Word documents. You can then view and edit this page as normal. There's no connection between the original Word document and this page.
There are a number of options when importing a Word document that control how pages are created, whether the import should overwrite existing pages in the space, and how it should handle page name conflicts.
I am using confluence page to store MS office files as attachments but every time when creating new files I have to save files locally before attaching them to Confluence. Is there a way to skip saving files locally? thinking of save as and providing the location of the page but it's not working...
I am able to upload the files from local machine to a page and then edit in Confluence, taking advantage of the version control. The question was mainly on the first time after creating the files I have to save it to my local machine before attaching it to the confluence page. I feel I would be great to save it directly to the confluence page as an attachment. We can do so in MS SharePoint.
Hi Jerry,
Were you able to find this similar ability with Confluence? I currently have macros in excel to save in Sharepoint automatically and am building out a confluence page right now and want to do the same functionality.. Please let me know if you have and if you could share how to do it.
Thanks.
We have many MS Word documents (most in the 10-30 page range) that we'd like to convert to Confluence pages, but the resulting pages lose quite a bit of the formatting and would create a huge amount of manual clean up for us. These word files include tables (with and without merged cells), images, numbered lists, bullet lists with hierarchies, and more. Specifically, the loss of text alignments and tabs will likely cause us the most aggravation since the spacing in most of these documents is critical. Copy/pasting tab characters seems to work well enough, but copy/pasting has other limitations that might be just as bad.
I'm not a programmer, but I thought that we might have better results if, rather than importing or copy/pasting, we convert the word files to code (HTML or XML or ???) and then use a source code editor plugin to copy it into a Confluence page's source code, but that keeps throwing errors when we try it - I guess because the languages don't exactly match up. Maybe this could work if we did it the right way or made a couple tweaks to the process?
So in a nutshell, my question is: what's the best way nowadays to convert word documents into Confluence pages so that you lose as little content/formatting as possible? If initial set up takes a while but creates a repeatable process, it would be worth it because we have many documents.

I found myself on the same situation as Miguel.
we have a very large amount of existing documents that we are looking forward to import into confluence. But Format is very important.
could you please elaborate on your comment about your word process import process using Regex?
Thanks in advance.

I need to upload a lot of rather complex word files onto our Confluence onPrem via REST-API - but not "just" as attachment - every word document should be a new page - and the content of the word file should be the content of the newly created page.
What do I mean by complex word files: those arent just one-liners, those are rich documents, some are rather long, a lot of them have Table-of-contents, Tables, Images, very different ways of formatting within.
From here, I am kinda lost because my confluence-specific knowledge reaches its end and ChatGPT permanently tells me two different things: a) I previously have to convert the word files into the ADF (Atlassian Document Format) (or:)b) I previously have to convert the word files into the CSF (Confluence Storage Format)... to be able to upload them and make them to the page content on-the-fly.
I am not sure what of both is the right document, nor if there is a way to do that converting on the fly, or as bulk. AND I am not able right now to get a clear answer from chatgpt nor google how - even if I would have the document in the right format, whatever one the "right" one is" - the converting of the attached word file TO THE PAGE CONTENT itself on the fly really works.
After researching different solutions, we decided to give Helpjuice a try. We found that Helpjuice had all the features we were looking for, plus a clean and intuitive layout that made it easy to use. We were particularly impressed with the ability to tag documents with keywords, track page views and user searches, and house various document types like PPTs and Excel sheets.
The central feature of Tettra is its "Categories," which serve as storage for related pages of information, allowing your team to organize and navigate through your knowledge base easily. You can create, edit, and share documents or articles within these categories, which makes information sharing seamless.
If you want to share a lot of content, potentially publicly, then you may want to set up your Confluence space to be public. Users do notneed to be licensed and can view Confluence pages but not create or edit. This is a great option for things like app documentation, supportknowledge bases etc.
Using the app, you can even password-protect the page, put time limits on how long pages can be shared,and name specific users who can access the link only if they have anExternal Share for Confluence account. That way only specific people are able to see and interact with it.
This is an easy way how to share eazyBI reports with other users in your organization and manage who can view the reports. Published reports and dashboards are included in page export to PDF and Word document as well.
Preview results and save them on the page. Do not forget to save changes to a confluence page as well. The recommended way to publish eazyBI reports/dashboards on a Confluence page is to use the full width of the Confluence page and arrange the eazyBI reports/dashboards one below the other.
Just finished authoring a requirements doc and for the first time I have had to share this with members outside Confluence. When I try to save my page as a pdf or word it destroys the formatting and is missing elements like the roadmap chart.
If you do not use the companion app, you have the option of using a browser depending on your office version (see Office connector documentation) to edit an Office document attached to a Confluence page.
Hi Andrew, I've recently gone through this process. It was not pretty. And I had no budget. I needed to move 10K+ documents out of Confluence. Basically used a script to convert the Confluence pages to MS Word documents, then import the MS Word to ServiceNow. Due to volumes and the structure of the Confluence spaces, the script was run in batches. If you have access to a robotics/automation team, they could automate the process.
The configuration settings default to Import as a new page in the current space and Rename imported pages if page name already exists. Keep the default settings and click Import. Once the document is imported, it will appear in the page tree on the left side of the page. Now the page is ready to be edited.
SUNY Delhi users now have the ability to import Microsoft Word documents (.DOC - not .DOCX) directly into Confluence pages.
Importing can only occur on pages for which the user has "edit" rights.
Try this workflow where many users collaborate on one page to help others understand the documentation status at once. Please mind that this approval method will lead to some manual operations, so you need to consider the risk of the fault.
If you find these updates relevant and decide to see the details, click the icon with the number of changes. It will lead you to the Page History with the comparison between the current page version and the one you saw upon your last visit to this page. This functionality ensures that you are always up to date with your Confluence document management.
If you decide to create the Confluence documentation status report, just wrap the table on your pages with the Page Properties macro and collect the page metadata together on another page with the Page Properties Report macro. This way, you will get an interactive Confluence dashboard where users can instantly review the Confluence document status and submit approvals.
The purpose of this documentation is to highlight some of the most important steps and best practices for making Word documents accessible. Following these is critical to creating accessible documents and exporting accessible PDF versions of them as well. Visually-impaired individuals often use screen reading software/features to read the contents of a document. In general, the more logical the page order and structure, the more accessible it will be. Screen readers give users additional auditory feedback which enable users to more easily navigate get a logical sense the document efficiently. This additional feedback includes alerting the user to titles, heading including level numbers, normal paragraph, images, lists, etc.
A Confluence page is the basic building block of a document. You can create a page for any type of document such as a policy, project plan, notes, or technical documentation. Confluence includes numerous ready-made templates to help you off to a fast start.
