Confluence Word doc export

Hi,

I am trying out Atlassian Confluence, which allows the pages it manages
to be exported in Word format (.doc). If I load such a file in Word, it
works, but LibreOffice will instead first provide a "ASCII Filter
Options" popup, and then opens the document as if it were a raw ASCII
text file. Here is the start of the file (the entire file is attached):

The contents start as:

Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
Subject: Exported From Confluence
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary="----=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514"

------=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514
...

It reminds me of an email. Does anyone know whatkind of file this is?
Can it be opened as a Word doc. in LibreOffice?

Cheers,
Paul

Please post the file on Nabble or somewhere "public" and post link to
the list. Attachments are stripped from the list.

Re: Confluence Word doc export

Which version of .doc is the file being exported as? There are several
of them, based on the different version of Office that they came from.

I wonder if the file is exported properly.

Yes, please use the other system, Nabble, to get the file to people,
since this list strips attached files.

To be honest, I never heard of Atlassian Confluence. What are you using
it for?

Hi,

The problem document referred to in my earlier email can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8bUb5ZVQs7iNUthMGs4Ry0xSnM
Like LibreOffice, Google Docs also cannot view it, though a link is
provided to the original file, at the end of the line starting:
"You can also try to download the original document by clicking"
(Here's a tinyurl to the doc too: http://tinyurl.com/btmkr2z ; it's
called Test+Export+to+Word.doc btw.)

Many thanks,
Paul

You forgot to show that it is an html document:
Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
Subject: Exported From Confluence
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary="----=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514"

------=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <====
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Location: file:///C:/exported.html <====

<html>
<head>

Actually it's an mht document. When open with Word: File|Save As|Save as
type: Word Document (*.doc). Now you can open in LO with all formating,
table boxes, etc.

LibreOffice doesn't have a filter for mht (mhtml - mime html) files, nor
IMO should it. It's not intended to be a 'document' format/protocol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML
http://people.dsv.su.se/~jpalme/ietf/mhtml.html
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2557.txt
Why does it open so well in Word? Don't know, but I suspect it may have
something to do with one of the co-author's (company) of RFC2557...
I also wouldn't recommend using it. (that's a full stop, period)

Your mail reader seems to be broken. Link in original post by Paul is working
just fine. Link in your quote of Paul's message is broken and returns error
404.
