FrameMaker to Confluence via WebWorks

The big problem is that WebWorks' Confluence feature was written for
Confluence 3.x, so it exports wiki markup. This sometimes results in
very messy code in Confluence 4.x and later, which use XHTML instead.
If you're not planning to edit in Confluence, it might work fine, the
pages generally look OK in read mode, it's only when you go to edit
them that things get gnarly.

Going through Word is problematic because Confluence's import has some
serious bugs.
