Hello - thank you for sending in this suggestion! Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to implement this in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations correctly, we're closing this request now. If you'd like to describe more how this would help in your own use of Confluence, we may be able to provide better guidance.
Thanks again for your idea, and please feel free to submit more!

Regards,
Confluence Product Management

Were any one of you successful to accomplishing this goal? I too am facing the same challenge and wondering if there is any possibility.

It would really be a great support from Atlassian. These days I am in touch with multiple technical writers in India who are looking forward to such a feature in Confluence to convince their sponsors to migrate to Confluence as a collaborative authoring platform.

We are currently evaluating Confluence 3.1 (hosted, but if purchased we will host it on our Web server). We have very large Madcap Flare and Adobe RoboHelp projects (about 500 topics each)and need to import them. I've tested importing small Word docs (11 pages) and spliting them into multiple wiki pages (see Importing an Office Document into Confluence in Confluence's help). This works as long as you remove the table of contents and index (apparently) from the Word doc first. However, we need to import all the html files from our Flare and RoboHelp projects, not just what's output in the Word docs. Being that these two products are very popular for creating user docs, and other wikis have tools to import them (such as RoboHelp2Wiki for MediaWiki), it would be very beneficial to be able to import directly from Flare and RoboHelp.

Also, we would like to preserve the context-sensitive help and conditional build tags. In addition, we need to preserve the internal hyperlinks in the Word doc, which was exported from RoboHelp. One more: after importing a Word doc, you have to manually reorganize the pages in the Browse Pages tree view, even though the document's table of contents is preserved.
