The SharePoint Link Macro may be inserted using the 'Insert SharePoint Document Link' dialog.
To insert the SharePoint Link macro into a page,
- Edit your Confluence page and click 'Insert' > 'SharePoint Document Link'.
- Select the SharePoint site where the document is stored.
- Search for the name of the SharePoint document by entering a search query in the 'Search' field and then clicking the 'Search' button.
- Select the document you wish to insert from the list of results.
- Click 'Insert' to add the macro to the page.
These instructions are for Confluence 5.x. In earlier versions of Confluence you can find the SharePoint Document Link macro in the Macro Browser.

Office Integration
If you are using Microsoft Office integrated with SharePoint, the {sp-link} macro will make use of this integration. When someone clicks on the link created by the macro, it integrates with MS Office in the same way as SharePoint. You can check documents in and out of SharePoint and edit the document from within the Office application.
In order for the Office integration to work, you must be using Internet Explorer as the browser when accessing the Confluence page.
