MS Word Tables to Frame

This seems to be a recurring problem because the question keeps
getting asked... so I'd say that there isn't a good way to do it
automagically.

However, if the conversion process is from a db to Frame, through Miramo...
I was under the impression that Miramo would do the conversion and
create the tables.

How did Word get thrown into the mix? I'm asking because it's likely
to cause other problems, such as embedded higher order characters that
can cause more problems further down the line.
