I hope to finish the work for this for AbiWord 2.4. For 2.2 you'll need
to put paragraph between the section and the table.

There is is still all sorts of code in the layout engine that expects
that paragraph to be there.

Sorry.

The AbiWord layout engine is now quite sophisticated and we can handle a
very large fraction of the features Open Office. It would be great to
get it's functionality up to the level of our MS Word, RTF and WP
importers.

Please feel free to ask me about anything that will help with the sxw
importer. It's out *most* requested feature by a long way. We really
appreciate your work on this.

Cheers!

Martin
