Example file from Word

Attached example file contains several tables separated by empty, hidden paragraphs.

The first of these paragraphs stays visible when the formatting marks are hidden or the document is printed, creating different layout compared to Word.

1. Open attached document
2. Hide the formatting marks or switch to Print view
-> the first two tables are separated by an empty paragraph, but they should be rendered as if they were a single table, like the other ones are.

and way back to 3.3, this was never good.
