Badly saved DOC
LibreOffice has trouble importing floating tables when they span over multiple
pages. Usually these aren't floating tables on purpose, just happen to be set
that way, possibly automatically by Word upon certain actions.
Fixing badly imported tables is tedious:
They're imported in a frame that can't go over page boundaries, so one has to
copy the table, paste it outside the frame and then remove the frame.
However, it's important to fix them, since badly imported tables stay that way
once saved in Writer.
Therefore it'd be very helpful if the user could fix such tables with a single
click eg. from the table menu or from inside the table properties dialog. It
would only be applicable to tables in a frame, and could be named something
like "Remove enclosing frame" (then again, people might not even know a frame
is involved, so it might be named better).
Attaching a sample DOC as it's badly saved in LO 5.4.1.2 and the original.
The import of the original document is fixed in master, but the roundtripped
file will remain incorrect without a manual fix.
UX team, please consider where/if this feature could be added.</pre>
