    Description

      Issue Summary

      According to our documentation, wiki markup should be converted upon import of Word file. Excerpt from documentation:

      Notes

      If your document contains characters that are the same as Confluence wiki markup (for example square brackets, hashes etc) these characters may be automatically converted to their wiki markup value when you import your document, or wrapped in a wiki markup macro to preserve the formatting. 

      Currently, macros are not converted when a word file is imported.

      Link to documentation:

       Import a Word Document into Confluence

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a word file
      2. Insert dummy content
      3. Insert wiki markup to define a macro
      4. Import the word file into Confluence

      Expected Results

      The wiki markup is converted and macros are rendered in the Confluence page

      Actual Results

      No macro is displayed and markup is displayed as normal text.

      Suggested resolution

      Change the documentation to actually reflect what is expected or implement the feature as described within documentation

       

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
