I guess you are referint to MS Word documents and MS Excel stylesheets.

They've a conversion software, converting from one of the Microsoft's
format to HTML.
This requires:
1) A parser for the Microsoft format.
2) A conversion routine that dumps an HTML DOM (this is the tricky part).
3) An HTML output.
MS Excel stylesheets can easily be converted to HTML tables (but, of
course, macros and stylesheets automatic calculus cannot be converted).
For MS Word documents, that's more tricky. It cannot produce good semantic
HTML.
