My first thought is that you could convert your tables to tab-delimited 
text prior to saving the document. This can be done by calling the 
ConvertToText method on each table, passing it a value of 1 
(wdSeparateByTabs):

Where doc is your Word document object:

  for table in doc.Content.Tables
      table.ConvertToText(1)
  end

Does that help?
