The Office Document Import feature is limited to what the Office
server in use is capable of. XWiki passes the office document to the
office server and gets HTML in response. If the received HTML doesn't
contain all the formatting that you have in the original office
document then XWiki can't do anything to preserve it. You can check
how well the office server converts your office documents to HTML by
opening the office documents with the corresponding office
viewer/editor and choose File > Preview in Web Browser (at least
that's what I have in Libre Office).
Hope this helps,
Marius

  Our new manufacturing engineer is documenting all of
the procedures in our
 company. He has done this for several other companies and has work
 instruction templates he uses (mostly Excel with a few Word documents). I am
 to add these instructions to xWiki. I have tried several ways of importing
 them into the wiki pages so they would look just like the original
 documentation. All of my attempts have failed. The formatting just doesn't
 seem to import correctly. There are two boxes that can be checked or
 unchecked when importing the documents (Filter Styles and Use The Office
 Document Viewer). I have tried every combination and none of them worked
 correctly. I have included some screen shots of the documentation I am
 trying to import. The idea is to only need to edit one document when future
 changes arise rather than the document for the floor as well as the wiki
 (with the exception of uploading the new file to the wiki).
 Thanks for your help!
