      Issue Summary

      When creating a new page in Confluence, we have the option to import an external .docx file. This feature doesn't work neither when adding a file nor when integrating it with Google Docs.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new page in Confluence.
      2. On the site bar, click on Import.
      3. Choose a Word/Google doc file.

      Expected Results

      The Word file should be converted into a Confluence page.

      Actual Results

      The import fails with the following error message:

      This file can't be imported
      We ran into issues because the file may the wrong type, password protected, or read-only.
      

      Workaround

      Users can either import Word files by visiting an existing page and clicking on More actions (...) > Advanced details > Import word document

      OR

      simply copy and paste the content from the Word doc.
