How to import tables from MS Word into LibreOffice?
Hi,
Anyone knows how to import tables from MS Word into Writer or Calc? WHen I try to copy/paste from MS Word into LibreOffice I get abolute garbage. In Calc, it gives an image of the table. In Writer, it gives me a set of non-table formatted number. This is a big problem, as I have a word document I want to convert to an open format that has many tables in it.
One comment:
I understand that the guys at MS work very hard alongside freedom open-source technologies in order to ensure incompatibility between the softwares is maximized as much as possible.
What I find really incredible is that people can say they have never came across any feature that has been put in deliberately (presumably in a non-free open-source oftware) to make it hard to reverse engineer (Linux Voice - September 2016). Any thoughts on this? Am I missing the point?

Have you tested the different options in paste special. [Ctrl+Shift+V] Meny/Edit/Paste special.?
Can we quit the accusations? Years ago I could get a file describing the file structure of Word 6 documents. A similar document circulated describing the file structure of WordPerfect documents. The only difference was length: the WP documentation was some 40 pages A4, the MS Word documentation, starting with a lengthy introduction on terminology, was about ten times that long. So you need an insane amount of time to figure it all out.
