That was helpful but I don't seem to be able to get the editor to do 
what I want.  So I have this big chunk of marked up text which I have 
converted to the Confluence format as far as I can given the rather lame 
documentation on the editor. For example, there is nothing about blocks 
of pre-formatted text, of which I have many.

It says that it doesn't store Wiki markup, viz:

*Note: You cannot edit content in wiki markup.* Confluence does not 
store page content in wiki markup. Although you can enter wiki markup 
into the editor, Confluence will convert it to the rich text editor 
format immediately. You will not be able to edit the wiki markup after 
initial entry.

However, it let me insert my existing markup using the Insert->Wiki 
Markup menu. This previews fine, apart from the bugs. But when I edit it 
again it takes me back to the box containing the inserted Wiki Markup. I 
can see that I could use the buttons to add content to the space above 
the Wiki markup box but I don't seem to be able to convert the inserted 
text so that it appears as if I had typed it in by hand. And since I 
don't know how to do some things via markup, I'm stuck.

Please tell me I am missing something simple and I don't have to 
re-create the entire document and all the formatting by using the GUI 
and cutting an pasting input from my marked up text (without the markup).
