The Toolkit tool po2csv and csv2po reads and writes comma delimited CSV, 
not tab delimited CSV.  I use a macro in MS Word to convert tab 
delimited files to comma delimited CSV files -- it is actually safer 
than doing it via Excel :-)

Some time in future there will be a table2po tool in the Toolkit (then 
you can export a DOC or ODT file to HMTL and convert it to PO easily) -- 
it is in the pipeline but it may take a few months before we get there 
(other priorities, you see).
