Previously you were able to upload a formatted Word document by going MORE ACTIONS > ADVANCED DETAILS > IMPORT WORD DOCUMENT. 

From there you could then nominate a 'Root Page' title and select 'Split by Heading'. 

With the way the document was formatted, Confluence would upload all the H1 headings as individual pages under a root/parent page.

(As explained here https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/import-a-word-document-into-confluence-170493136.html)

I no longer have this option, and when 'editing' a page to upload a Word document it simply copies all copy from the Word document including separate headings as one long body of text.

How do I upload it the old way?

@Madi Kelsey this behavior recently changed across all editors. You can read about it here. Not a very popular change as you will see, but there are no work arounds either.

Sorry I could not help more.
