Maintaining Color Formatting When Copying and Pasting Into Confluence

Project Manager May 30, 2014

We have an old knowledge base we want to transfer over some articles from, into Confluence. They have a lot of colored fonts, for instance critical notes are in red etc.

When I initially past them into Confluence all the formatting is maintained, but the moment I hit save all the font colors disappear and all text becomes black. Any suggestions?

Thank You

Hi there,

What if you paste this data in a document editor (as word or Open Office Writter), and the copy again and paste in Confluence.

Does it work ?

YES! Thanks so much, that works.

Didn't work for me, any idea why? I did the same step as suggested!
