Documents · Word macro
Your Word document on the page, readable by whoever opens it
With the Word macro the .docx renders on the Confluence page itself -
headings, tables and layout intact. You stop copying documents into the wiki and losing
the formatting, you stop attaching files readers have to download, and there is no
second version to maintain.
You keep one file and nobody retypes it
The policy, the contract, the report someone spent a week on stays a single file. Nobody rebuilds it in the wiki editor, nobody has to remember which of two copies is current, and the formatting your author chose survives the trip to the page.
Your readers need no Word licence and no download
A reader needs no Word licence, no download and no desktop app - just the page they were already on. That matters most for the people you least want to inconvenience: a client, an auditor, a new starter on a borrowed laptop.
You publish an approved document and it stays approved
The preview is read-only: nobody changes a word, a comment or a heading from the
page. Share an approved document with an entire space and it stays approved - while
anyone who needs to work on the file downloads the .docx from the
macro.
The file stays where your team keeps files
Any modern .docx works, from wherever it lives - a page attachment, a
URL, Google Drive, or a credentialed S3, SFTP or database connection an admin set up
once. Update the document at the source and the page follows; set a fixed height, or
let the macro size itself to the content.
What the other Word apps put in front of your readers
The Word apps for Confluence work by pasting a Microsoft link: the document stays in
SharePoint or OneDrive and the page shows it through Microsoft, which means every
reader needs an account and the right permissions there before they see anything.
Your client, auditor or contractor gets a login screen. This macro reads the
.docx itself, from wherever it sits - OneDrive included, alongside
Google Drive, an S3 bucket or an SFTP server - so the page renders for whoever can
open the page.
