How are you importing the excel text? Are you copying and pasting from Excel? Saving as text files? Placing Excel files? There are lots of different ways to get the table text in from Excel. If you only have a few, copy & paste is easy to do and picks up all the formatting of the target table cells.

I would play with the cell format settings in the Excel doc first. Then I'd try saving as text and opening that in a text editor, or Word and see if it looks right there. Once you get the numbers right in a text file, you're good to go.
