Hi Terry, This isn't something that we can support today, since the diff viewer expects the diff is going to reference a text-based file it can pull from the repository and patch against.
You can always upload the text file itself as a file attachment, but it's not ideal for your case, I imagine. We are planning on some fancier diff support in probably Review Board 3.5 (3.0 is the upcoming release) that would allow us to do smarter things in the diff viewer for non-text files, and having Power Pack take advantage of that to do some better visualization of Office-based files.
