Hi @Roger Brunner 

Change the arrow shapes to dots.

If you have some sort of visualization going on replacing that with --> or <-- in word and then import into confluence

Thanks,
Pramodh

Hi Pramodh, 

I have an image in word and have highlighted one of the areas there with a square box and an arrow(shape) to point. But while I import in confluence it takes only image and not the external arrow or square which I have used to highlight. Can you please help how that can be done or any other way where I can add or highlight in confluence itself after bringing in the image?

Thanks in Advance

Shriya :)

Hello @Roger Brunner , I am not sure what snips are in Word, but that is probably a bridge too far when it comes to importing Word docs. Generally they need to be pretty vanilla:

  • Standard builtin formats (H1, H2, body, etc.)
  • Not ToC or title page
  • No headers or footers
  • Tables
  • Figures only as images (png, jpeg, etc).
