tdf35021_tabOverMarginDemo2.pdf: from MS Word

All of these documents exhibit poor design and display the caveat mentioned in
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a9367c1b39600d5a5e2d0067113f06ad59cc37a1

"CAVEAT: Basically all of this stuff tricks the layout engine, so the amount of
text allowed on a single line is still "controlled" by the right margin. So,
even though the extended line could theoretically be very long, the amount of
text still must fit within the limits set by the right margin. Thus large
margins [or lots of text after the tab] may cause wrapping in LibreOffice,
instead of disappearing off of the end of the paper as it does in MSWord, and
editing the text might get confusing - which matches the experience in MSWord."

In simpler terms, MS Word never wraps tab_over_margin paragraphs - they just
disappear off the end of the page (or cell) on a single line.
