Imported Word Doc

Question

When importing a word doc, it will not load snips with shapes (Arrows) inserted. it will load normal snips.

Errors to Failed to import Shape

Shriya Chhajed · Answer

Hi Pramodh,

I have an image in word and have highlighted one of the areas there with a square box and an arrow(shape) to point. But while I import in confluence it takes only image and not the external arrow or square which I have used to highlight. Can you please help how that can be done or any other way where I can add or highlight in confluence itself after bringing in the image?

Thanks in Advance

Shriya :)

Hi @Roger Brunner

Change the arrow shapes to dots.

If you have some sort of visualization going on replacing that with --> or <-- in word and then import into confluence

Thanks,
Pramodh

Hello @Roger Brunner , I am not sure what snips are in Word, but that is probably a bridge too far when it comes to importing Word docs. Generally they need to be pretty vanilla:

* Standard builtin formats (H1, H2, body, etc.)
* Not ToC or title page
* No headers or footers
* Tables
* Figures only as images (png, jpeg, etc).
