The purpose of the white space code is to be able to blindly search for any 
combination of tabs and spaces.  Its a very flexible and useful construct for 
cleaning up documents (which is Mr. Greaves primary objective) in an 
automated manner. If its buggy, it defeats the purpose of having it at all.

Yes, that's good practical advice.  Unfortunately, Word has a few things that 
do not work correctly when a table is involved.  The classic example is 
inserting a table in the a series of numbered paragraphs. The paragraph 
numbering is turned off by the table insertion and there is no way to 
continue the paragraph numbering after the table.
