Describe the Bug

As of the implementation of the WYSIWYG Docx Import which was launched in v23.06.2, working with DOCX files has been considerably easier; but there are still some issues.

In spite of being said that "These hacks are unsupported customizations meant as unofficial workarounds", I think fixing this issue can be a huge improvement.

After uploading the DOCX file, the contents of the file is migrated successfully but some irrelevant errors pops up. (screenshots included)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a new page.
  2. Drag & drop a DOCX file.
  3. The migration is successful but there are some errors shown on the screen that are frustrating.

Expected Behaviour

I expect the migration to be clean and easy. After uploading the DOCX file, I don't want to encounter any errors.

Screenshots or Additional Context

As per the warning you quoted from our hacks site, these things are not considered officially supported parts of BookStack and therefore I'm not looking to service issues for these in this repo.

The warnings are advised within the considerations for the hack. Additionally, there will always be issues and edge-cases in this kind of functionality. There are reasons this is provided as a hack instead of being built into the platform.
