In Word to DOORS export, add document structure management similar to RTF import in DOORS.

The current Word VBA to DOORS import addon is lacking behind the feature scope of the RTF importer in DOORS client. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/doors/9.7.2?topic=modules-importing-rich-text-format-files . It would be useful to add similar style mapping to the Word import workflow in DOORS(currently effectively a Word to DOORS export flow)

    I highly appreciate this as we do have a lot (!) of Word and PDF (ok, this format is then converted to Word) documents from our (many) customers and we need to transform/prepare all these Word-docs before we are able to import them into DOORS.

    Big pains are large tables, embedded OLEs (i.e. Visio), many embedded styles, special characters (like >=, <=, ...) but also the hierarchy of the document to be imported.
