Hi,

My goal is, that if I export my Confluence page into a Word file, I want to have 2 columns on the first page and 1 column on the other pages. How do I do that?

Cheers,

Timon

  Hi Timon,

  Thanks for reaching out.
  Unfortunately it's not possible to define section-breaks out of Confluence technically (you can only define page-breaks, but this wouldn't help here unfortunately), so you can not change between multiple layouts in the content area of an exported file.

  If you'd need to have a 2 column layout on your title page, and a 1-column layout on the content pages, you could define that in the template: Define the layout for your title page, add a section break to the template and let the content start from second page using the $scroll.content placeholder.

  I hope that helps. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

  Best,
  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  im very thankful, that you answered but that didn't help me (maybe im just not able to do it xD) because I dont have a "title page"... I have this Confluence page: and if I export it to a Word want the part above the red line to be in 2 columns and the part unter the red line to be in 1 column. Is that possible?

  btw I tried it with the $scroll.content placeholder but it didn't work as I wanted it to.

  Cheers,

  Timon

  Hi Timon,

  Would it be possible to send us a XML export of this page and your MS Word template to support@k15t.com ?
  This will create an internal support ticket and we'd be able to further investigate.

  To export the content of a single Confluence page, please follow these instructions: https://help.k15t.com/creating-a-xml-export-of-a-single-page-111903666.html.

  Btw, Please note that this is a public forum, so you might want to remove this screenshot from here.

  Best,
  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  I already got what I wanted, but now i got another problem... why does it always take Heading 1 for the first Heading on a page even tough I made it Heading 2

  Cheers,

  Timon

  Hi Timon,

  When creating a export, Scroll Office ensures that the exported document has a proper structure (i.e. the first heading on a page will always be heading 1, with following headings based on this heading).

  You can find further information about this in our docs: How Scroll Handles Headings - I hope that explains the behavior.

  Is there a specific reason why you start your pages with heading 2 instead of heading 1?

  Best,
  Nils
