Problem is, that MS Word's tables do not support calculations in table like
Writer does. MS Word only offers this via the "Formula" field command.
Implementing a workaround via Word's field when exporting would be the only way
to get a dynamic result.

There is technical difference, yes, but the end user might regard it is as lack 
of compatibility with Word97 in OpenOffice.org.

Could you please estimate the cost of a fix in time/money in order for 
companies to invest in a fix for OOo 2.0.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
