It's certainly very inefficient to embed tables around all lines in a paragraphs. Let me give you an example. Here is a document I wrote recently (exported to pdf from LO): http://www.richardneill.org/images/electronics_supervision.pdf Look at the 3rd page (titled "Resistors"), and the small blue side-notes on the RHS, such as "← Voltage across the resistor". There are very many of these throughout the document. These should be right-aligned consistently, but as you can see, they are actually left-aligned with inaccurate bodging with tabs and spaces. It's important that the "right-align of partial text" is easy to do (ideally as simple as a single click on the format button) - and a table is not the way to do it (partly as it takes time, partly because tables are semantic objects, not layout objects).
