Export database model to a word document where each table is represented as Word table with Columname and ColumnType
It would be great for preparing Design Documents if we could export to db model to a word document, where each database table would be converted to a Word table where the first row would be the table name and there would be two columns. One the column name the other one the datatype. Maybe even a third row with the description.

I've added your idea to our TODO list. Please take look on this request:
http://support.vertabelo.com/topic/624641-generation-of-database-design-document/
My request is similar to that one. For me, even only being able to export the tables would do.
About to do list: Does this mean it will be implemented sometime?
If yes, would you have a very rough estimate for the time?
This feature has been introduced with yesterday release! You can now generate database documentation. There's a new "DOC" icon on the toolbar, next to an "XML" icon. You can choose between 3 file formats: PDF, HTML and DOCX.
Word document does not list contents of the subject areas correctly. Tables are listed correct but views and references simply list tables. Using example model provided I have added subject areas and a view, word doc has:
6. Subject areas
6.1. Subject area Product
6.1.1. Tables - product - product_category
6.1.2. Views - product - product_category
6.1.3. References - product - product_category
6.2. Subject area Purchase
6.2.1. Tables - purchase - purchase_item
6.2.2. Views - purchase - purchase_item
6.2.3. References - purchase - purchase_item
PDF has the contents correct except the "Areas" as section header vs "Subject Areas"
6. Areas
6.1. Product subject area
6.1.1. Tables
- product - product_category
6.1.2. Views
- v_product_w_images
6.1.3. References
- purchase_purchase_item - product_purchase_item - client_purchase - product_category_product_category - product_category_product
6.2. Purchase subject area
6.2.1. Tables
- purchase - purchase_item
6.2.2. References
- purchase_purchase_item - product_purchase_item - client_purchase - product_category_product_category - product_category_product
Also subsection headers not consistent word vs PDF
"Subject area Product" in word, "Product subject area" in PDF
