I recently moved and had to use a MSWord doc from a website to report the change
of address. When opened in OOo 2.0, the formatting, which seems to be
constructed from tables, was very obviously incorrect. Also, the input fields
wouldn't accept mouse focus and couldn't be tabbed into.

I was forced to re-install Word 2000 in order to make this change of address :(

One problem is that Writer does not fully support nested tables in WinWord
import filter. See issue 25680.

The other is, that Writer's table concept currently does not offer spacing
between cells like Word does.
