Description:
Formula handling inside tables is broken in Microsoft Office DOC or DOCX file 
formats.

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer
2. Insert table of any size - for example 4x4
3. Enter some numbers in the table cells
4. Go to the last (right bottom) cell, hit "=", enter "=sum(<A1:D3>)"
5. Save the document as Microsoft Office DOC or DOCX and close document
6. Open just saved DOC/DOCX document and change some numbers in table (try 
pressing F9 for sure)

Actual Results:
Actual results:
* the formula in the table is not saved, the user is unable to calculate with 
it after saving file as DOC / DOCX


Expected Results:
Expected results:
* the formula in the table is saved, the user is able to calculate with it 
after saving file as DOC / DOCX


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


Additional Info:
Notes: the same happens if original document is DOC / DOCX. Saving table with 
formula removes the formula on next open. Test ODT document is in attachment.

A DOCX with a formula in table

The document is created in Word 2016. The table has SUM(ABOVE) formula
in the bottommost (A3) cell.

So the issue is interoperability with Word formats, which are also able
to have simple formulas. Both reading is imperfect, and writing.

This is by no means HIGHEST/CRITICAL, of course.

No bug related to external file types is critical. Please don't start
edit wars.

Ok, no problem.
Just edited a bunch of documents, opened them and lost formulas in them.
