Single sourcing from Frame and a wiki ... or something ...

So far as I have been able to tell, the switch from wiki markup to
XHTML source in Confluence 4 broke all the tools for getting content
in and out, and I'm not aware of any work going on to remedy that.

Confluence 4 has a MS Word import feature, but it has some showstopper
bugs: the TOC is scrambled, cross-references are not converted, and
numbered lists (SEQ fields) are converted to plain text. I reported
those bugs over six months ago, Atlassian has no current plans to fix
them (they remain unassigned in Jira).
