Well, add a last row with the first column larger than the previous rows, assume people don't know about column-mode editing, and you can imagine what they are doing to align...
I think I'll just "preprocess" the file, looking for something like !csvtable(filename.csv).
Wrote the script (it worked), but some specific complex features from Word still were missed ("how do I do a reference to a picture?") and couldn't be easily supported by pandoc or this script.
Though for a brief time of going full-mode procrastinator and writing another markup language...
Then I had to admit the whole thing wasn't really working and now recommend we move back to Microsoft Word because it's easier.
A day of Total fail, and procrastination, and making everyone install MikTex, pandoc and Python.
I hope I don't regret for suggesting we use Git...
