I just watched one of Webwork's webinars on creating custom outputs from
ePublisher. Can't you create a custom output for Confluence 4 in ePublisher?

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.
