  1. Confluence Data Center
  2. CONFSERVER-26052

Internal page and attachment links did not work in the Word document exported from Confluence

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Create a page
      2. Insert a link pointing to another page
      3. Upload an attachment
      4. Insert a link pointing to an attachment
      5. Save the page
      6. Export it to Word
      7. Open the Word document. Sample: CONF-26052.doc
      8. Ctrl+Click the links however you'll not be redirected to the linked page and attachment.
      9. The linking in the exported Word document is translated as:
        • Internal page linking - D:\display\ds\Welcome+to+the+Confluence+Demonstration+Space
        • Internal attachment linking - D:\Users\Hanis\Downloads\attach_0ba7561890f2e2b087628e00a8af1509
      10. Expected links:

      Only external links work in the exported Word document. This problem however does not exist in Confluence 3.5.x.

      In the New XHTML Editor, somehow internal linking of pages/attachments are broken.

            Still a problem in 6.6 and is extremely frustrating. it would be great if it could be fixed. Converting to word is a common workflow item that is fully supported by Confluence. These links should work after being exported to a Word doc.
