Limits worth knowing

Will tables be detected perfectly? Simple tables with aligned columns convert well. Merged cells, tables without clear spacing and scanned pages may need tidying in Excel.

Are numbers stored as text? Values that look like numbers (including 1,234.50 and percentages) are written as real numbers so formulas work.
