The Office Importer application is bundled with XWiki Enterprise, not
the office server. In XWiki the notion of an application means a set
of wiki pages that offer some functionality. In this case the Office
Importer application allows you manage the connection (start/stop) to
an office server (which you have to install separately) and to import
office documents through the configured connection. You can install
either OpenOffice or LibreOffice, but take care of
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6832 .

You are welcome to make the documentation more clear (xwiki.org is a wiki).

Hope this helps,
Marius
