Staroffice seems to handle M$ Word tables pretty well. I used it
to work on a document from work and it was the only wp that 
would do it. Abiword had no clue to the tables, WP8 didn't
handle them well and applix (an older version) couldn't open
the document at all. It would be nice to have their wp cut out
of the package, kinda streamlined, like abiword.

YMMV
