Surprised no-one has replied yet. From my understanding this needs version 1.3.4 (which doesn't really exist yet!) Until then the official line is you can't import character formatting, only para formatting. I was supposed to write a Wiki article on a work around I found - but ran out of time.
So the short answer is: If you can import into OO as a database/mailmerge apply the formatting that way. so that you have a OO document with character formatting. then save it in HTML format. You can import HTML and it appears to apply bold/italics etc. Hope that helps? Mail back if you need a more detailed explanation and I might get round to writing the Wiki... As for the divisions...
