@Justin
Is this simply a file format limitation? Or import or export issue. Only checked LibreOffice. No clue what word does..

Note: This kind of issue more common Cut the full table in odt paste it again.. same flaw (Jim is working on that)

LO really doesn't have table styles. What is there is only half-baked. There are MANY things in import that force direct formatting in order to handle oddities (numbering and table-styles being chock full of them).

There are also lots of existing bug reports about our impoverished table styles.

What a lovely assessment of the state of table styles feature ;-). So this could hypothetically be improved. If and only if the whole mess is sorted out.

This is the export part of the generic "Import and export OOXML table styles" problem. NEW, whatever...

Still reproducible in current master. Note that in 3.3, tabbing in both DOCX and original ODT file is broken.
