OverviewConfluence exports a Confluence page as a Microsoft Word document by:
The wrapper is generated using a Velocity macro to provide CSS style information specific to MS Word exports. Modifying ContentPlease do not attempt to modify the output without some experience in CSS and HTML markup. You may also need to review Velocity template language. Before modifying any styles, you should always take a backup of both any files you are modifying and your entire Confluence install directory. If you require assistance with your customisation attempt, you should post your modified files along with a technical description to our Confluence Developer Forum. Important FilesThe formatting is defined using the CSS styles in main Confluence stylesheet and overridden by any styles in the Word export wrapper. Main Stylesheet This file formats the default appearance of all Confluence content. Changes to this document will be shown when viewing a page from within Confluence, as well as in HTML or MS Word exports. You should avoid changing this document unless you wish a style to be changed throughout Confluence. The file is located under the Confluence install directory: ...\confluence\WEB-INF\classes\styles\site-css.vm Export Wrapper This file overrides the main Confluence stylesheet, so styles outlined in this file will be specific to MS Word exports. It set the font and style for body text, some macro and grids, and a default background colour. The file is located under the Confluence install directory: ...\confluence\pages\exportword.vm How To Modify StylesIf the CSS tag already exists in the Word export wrapper, you can modify it directly. If the CSS tag is defined by the main stylesheet, copy it into the export wrapper as a new entry in the <style> element and update it there:
Common ModificationsYou can easily set the body font or background colour in the export wrapper. Modify Body Font The wrapper sets the body font:
body, p, td, table, tr, .bodytext, .stepfield {
font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif;
}
Modify Background Colour The wrapper sets the background colour:
<body style="background-color: white; padding: 10px;">
<h1>$page.title</h1>
$renderedPageContent
</body>

Also, I'd like to add auto-numbering to exportword.vm, so that the headings have 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1 ... I added some CSS to exportword.vm but it didn't work. Has anybody tried this?
Thanks,
Tiffany

Did you mean that you would like to include the page content with TOC plugin into the exported MS Word? If that is the case, you should be able to do so. If I have misinterpreted your requirement, please explain it for a better understanding. Alternatively, you can always raise a support ticket at our issue tracker at https://support.atlassian.com.
