Import Word: splitting by Header Levels doesn't work properly

Michel MDM

Hi,

I have a Word document with Heading levels 1,2,3 and 4. Import with split 1,2,3 works identically, splitting by Heading 4.

Any suggestions ?

Hello Michel,

Thank you for bringing this up. Unfortunately, it's not possible to split beyond level 3 when importing a Word document. I've encountered this issue myself, with a customer who asked this question previously.

How to Import Word Document and split by heading Level 4,5?

As a result, I created the following Jira ticket:

CONFCLOUD-64884 On Word Doc Import, ability to split headings beyond level 3

Hi @Shannon S

the issue is not regarding level 4. The issue is , that the splitting on level 1 and 2 doesn't work at all. The document will be splited on the level 4. I dont need it . I want to separate on level 2.

The system ignore the setting (level 1,2,3) .

Warm regards Michel

Hi Michel,

Thank you for verifying that. I am attempting to replicate this on my site, using the following document:

TestHeadings.docx on Dropbox

I created a new page in Confluence, using the new editor, and published it.
From that page, I clicked . . . > Advanced details > Import Word Document
I wanted the document to replace the existing page from the next page, so I selected Replace "page name."
I confirmed that splitting each by level 1, 2, and 3 headings works as expected.

Do you run into the same issue regardless of the document you use? Can you replicate the problem using my test document?

It helps if you can also send me a screenshot of the settings you select when importing the document, and if possible, how your Word document looks.

Thank you!
Shannon

Hi @Shannon S ,

thanks a lot for your effort ! I found out, what causes the issue: In my document are gaps between the headings. That means, under Heading 1 are only Headings 4. In my document ii is not an bug, it mus be so. The Heading 4 is a ortogonal, independent "labels". I close the qestion, because it is not a normal use case.

Thansk again,

Michel
