Word Export

El_61a833

I need to export over a hundred documents from Confluence. When I use the Export to Word option from the dropdown menu, the files are saved as **Single File Web Pages (.mht, .mhtml) instead of Word documents.

Is there a way to export Confluence pages directly as .docx (Microsoft Word) files?

Manually exporting and saving each document one by one is highly time-consuming and inefficient.

Currently there is no direct .docx export in Confluence Cloud.

Hi @El

This behavior is expected. When exporting pages from Confluence using Export to Word, the files are saved in a specific Word file format.

According to Atlassian’s official documentation, these exported Word files can only be opened in Microsoft Word they are not compatible with Open Office, Libre Office, or Google Docs.
To export and open the files correctly, make sure you have Microsoft Word (desktop version) installed on your computer.

Export a space's content as Word, PDF, or data files

Hope it helps!

@El A convoluted solution that may save you time:

For each Space that contains pages you want to export:

Follow the steps in the Export a Space section on this page: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml/.
- In step 3, select PDF.
- In step 4, select Custom Export and then select all of the pages you want to export.
Open the PDF file in an application that allows you to convert the PDF to a Word document. Someone in your company may already have such a tool installed.
Copy/paste the content in the Word file into separate Word files, as needed.

The Scroll Word Exporter app can export Confluence pages to standard DOCX files.

Plus, to solve the bulk export part of the problem, this app also offers a public REST API, which means that you can write a simple script that will iterate over the pages to export, pass them to this REST API one by one, and receive a DOCX file for each page.

A tool this expensive shouldn’t need such a convoluted process just to export a document.

we shouldn't have to pay extra for exporting confluence documents.
