Create product wiki page in confluence using word document

[soelay]

Hi,

I have product document info in MS word with table of content. i used import function in confluence , it created 1 page with all the content in. is there a way i can have multiple confluence pages based on table of content by importing this document? if yes, how can i do that?

images are also not properly imported. it show "failed to import image". anyway to address this without doing it manually again?

appreciate your advice. Thanks.

You can import multiple word docs to create a structure but if you import a single file, you will end up with a single page.

Image import consistency is a major issue with word file imports.

Speaking from experience, the fastest method is to simply copy/paste sections of your word doc to individual Confluence pages.

It also produces better results.

You can try a workaround and open your word file in Google docs and see if importing or copy/pasting that produces better results. Google tends to remove some of the word proprietary formatting which will make it onto a confluence page when using the import function.

Thanks @Kristian Klima Haven't tried with google docs and will see how.

Hi @soelay 

you can also check Workaround to import Word documents and split by h... - Atlassian Community

Maybe this helps a little.

Interesting and helpful. 

The general problem with word docs import is that they tend to contain a lot of garbage that one doesn't see and which can be terribly inconsistent even though the content itself looks perfectly uniformed.

I experimented a lot with word imports during our documentation migration efforts and wasted many a day trying to get anything resembling to reasonable results :)

Thanks for sharing @Harald Seyr . it looks interesting. I can follow until step 4 and lost at step 5. Do you manage to replicate all steps?

Hi @soelay , I just found this, but did not actutally use it myself.
