Description
After copying a Word document from Word 2007 to CKEditor, a list with nested lists inside it flattens out. This occurs for both numbered and unordered lists.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a Word document which has a nested list inside.
- Copy the list using CTRL+C.
- Go to CEditor and open "Paste from Word"
- Paste the document into the dialog's textarea and click "OK"
I do not know if this issue occurs with other versions of Word. I have created a patch which seems to solve the problem.

It's caused by unit of measurement settings in MS Word. It doesn't work only for inches.
To change settings, please go to: File -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Show measurements in units of

The patch is good except for the last chunk of change adding 'list-style-type'.
