Hi @Avinash.E ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

If you are on a server/data center instance, please take a look to the following article https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/the-text-in-a-powerpoint-excel-or-word-document-looks-different-when-using-the-viewfile-macro-200213562.html

Otherwise, if you are on a cloud instance, as said by @Benjamin , you need to to raise a support request to atlassian team through https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

@Avinash.E ,

Usually, this can happen with instances on Confluence on-prem.

See post below:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Word-and-PPT-docs-showing-text-as-quot-garbled-symbols-quot-in/qaq-p/735581

This is due to the core OS fonts not being installed.

Since this is on cloud, you may want to submit a ticket to Atlassian to look further into the cloud system backend.

Thanks,

Ben
