Copying Table from Word

MediaWiki 1.25.1 VisualEditor REL1_25 Parsoid 0.2.0

When I copy a table from Microsoft Word and paste it in Visual Editor, it displays correctly as a table. But when I save the page the table turns into text only. If I edit again with VisualEditor the table appears formatted correctly. So, the table only displays correctly in VisualEditor, and not on the page.

I believe this is phab:T85577 ("Pasted tables in VE-MW do not automatically get class="wikitable"") - I.e. it should look like a normal wiki table if (in wikitext) you change the first line to read:

{| class="wikitable"

Please let me know if it's more complex than that, and then I can file or find a more appropriate task. Thanks.
