Importing a Word doc into Confluence as a new page

[Leeza November]

I am attempting to import a Word doc into Confluence as a child page on an existing space. I created a new page, but there is no option to import a Word Document (as listed on all the help articles... ) I am on the cloud instance of Confluence and am not sure if perhaps the option to import a Word doc is not available on this instance? 

I really do not see the value in copying and pasting each section of the existing Word doc - that seems to be an unnecessary exercise, if there is a functionality to improve this.

Hi @Leeza November

I believe the steps for this is described here

Thanks @Ism Rie - I do however not want to include a thumbnail of the doc, I want the content of the doc to be embedded, ie. be the content on the page. Any ideas?  The attached is what I see on the page - there is no option to Import Word doc on any of the menus.

The instruction is as follow:

1. you create the page first.
2. After that, you view the page and you should see ... on the top right hand side.
3. Select the Import Word option.
4. Follow the instructions specifying how you want confluence to handle the page title and how to split the body.

This is not adding an attachment but rather importing the file's content.

Thanks @Ismael Jimoh the above worked like a charm! The aligning of images in the doc was however abit of a mission, as they were inserted with text wrapped tightly around it and those formats do not seem to be available/ Other than that, all good. 

Thanks again :)

Hi Folks,

When I tried this the images in the original word document did not appear in the page on confluence? Was this just me?
