Suppose you have a table nested in another table. The nested table is
at the very top of the first cell of the nesting table.

Then, as best I can tell:

(1) Setting the ID of the nested table overwrites the ID of the
nesting table.

(2) If asked the paragraph style of the first paragraph of the nesting
table, Word replies with the paragraph style of the first paragraph of
the nested table.

Does anyone know of any other ways in which the distinction between
the nesting and nested tables gets blurred in this special
circumstance?
