Hi,
I'm importing a Word doc into my company's Wiki, in Confluence. Unfortunately, the Confluence "Office Connector" has several documented issues (and one I noticed that is not documented) that compromise the formatting. What was a nicely formatted Word doc looks rather poor in Confluence.
Here's the link from Atlassian (who supports Confluence) per these issues:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/office-connector-limitations-and-known-issues-170492994.html
The worst issues for me:
1. Whitespace is messed up. Most apparent with blank lines between text, and lost centering.
2. This one I don't see documented. I have some JSON code. "Examples:" is text above the snipped.)
Examples:
{
errors:
[
{
Field: “DueDate”
ErrorMsg: “Invalid Date Format: 20160131”
},
]
}
Somehow, Confluence adds some auto-numbering. (The below is a screenshot.)

Bottom line:
1. How can I "fool" confluence into not removing my whitespace.
2. Same question to avoid the autonumbering.
I want to make my changes in Word as much as possible. While I can change in Confluence, i would lose those changes if I had to make significant changes to the Word doc and re-import it.
NOTE: I had to save my DOCX as a 97-2003 Word Doc b/c of Confluence issues importing DOCX .
Thanks,
Steve
