Reading from/exporting to .docx, .rtf (and .odt e.g., by LibreOffice Writer) works better each release and during the conversion, you may indicate e.g., a Word template to provide a style file how the result should look like. (However different to the examples shown by you, tables I'm used to use typically are two to four straight columns; yours are frames nested in each other.)
