Actually, copy/paste from Word can cause even more mischief. I never paste 
directly from Word into Maker -- I always paste into a text editor to clean the 
stuff out, and then copy/paste that into my document.  Why???

When you paste, Maker does the right thing and converts Word pgf styles into 
Maker formats.  But if you paste into a table, or if you paste a table, then 
the newly created format might end up in your table catalog.  Part of a table 
format in the table catalog is the default pgf format for a table cell.  But 
there's no way to get rid of that pgf format once it's there (except by editing 
MIF).  As a result, the pgf format might include a font or language you don't 
have on your system.  Then, whenever you open the document, you will get 
messages about unsupported fonts!  Yet you can never search through the 
document to find them and eradicate them.  I suppose this could lead to a crash 
if you save as PDF and the font is one that gives Acrobat serious problems 
(maybe, but not tested as far as I know).  

So the moral of the story is, really try to avoid copy/paste from Word into 
Maker.
