Maybe this could work if we did it the right way or made a couple tweaks to the process? I'm not a programmer, but I thought that we might have better results if, rather than importing or copy/pasting, we convert the word files to code (HTML or XML or ?) and then use a source code editor plugin to copy it into a Confluence page's source code, but that keeps throwing errors when we try it - I guess because the languages don't exactly match up. Copy/pasting tab characters seems to work well enough, but copy/pasting has other limitations that might be just as bad. Specifically, the loss of text alignments and tabs will likely cause us the most aggravation since the spacing in most of these documents is critical. These word files include tables (with and without merged cells), images, numbered lists, bullet lists with hierarchies, and more. We have many MS Word documents (most in the 10-30 page range) that we'd like to convert to Confluence pages, but the resulting pages lose quite a bit of the formatting and would create a huge amount of manual clean up for us.
