Not sure why you'd want to do this. As far as I know, RoboHelp can only 
import a fairly limited range of file types - Word docs, PDFs, Framemaker 
documents, existing help documents and graphics. If you're documenting a 
system that uses the file types you mention and want to show the reader 
what the files look like, why not include a screen capture? Or, if you 
want to use the actual text and display it in your own format (e.g. in a 
table), some screen capture software (e.g. SnagIt, Hypersnap) allows you 
to capture the text from a screen region (using optical character 
recognition), provided it's sufficiently readable. You could then paste 
the captured text into RoboHelp and make it into a table or whatever.
