To clarify a bit more, I have often seen output (Word, sometimes Excel) which looked good, superficially, but any editing was virtually impossible. For example, a "table" might look like a table, but the visible lines were just background lines; if the text in the "cells" was edited, the lines wouldn't adapt.
