Yes, I tried this yesterday and could open a normal report (i.e. containing
tabular formatted report data) in Word 15.17.1 on OSX.

Some large business deployments, e.g. corporations and administrations use this
option as a default to "trick" users into thinking that they're working with a
MS-Word clone, or because they have a policy of always saving to docx, but as
far as I understood, yes, this only applies to word processing documents.

And personally I agree, it is more of a UI problem, but perhaps there is more
to it than I know about. Maybe one of the devs more aware of what this option
does can shed light on it.
