How to import a word file into confluence without changing the formatting?

[Anusha_Raju]

Hi,

While importing word files into confluence, the format of the page is not retained. Can you suggest a method of importing the word file without changing the formatting ?

Hi Anusha!

When importing a Word document into Confluence, Confluence will do its best to match the Word document format using the capabilities of the Confluence editor. If the Word document has more advanced formatting that is not available in Confluence (e.g. formatted tables, custom text alignment, non-standard numbering) this may require manual editing to make it look how you'd like upon import.

So we can better understand the issue, could you provide more details about what formatting is not retained, along with any screenshots of the document and imported page?

Thanks!
