Compatibility issues with table text in Word2008 vs 2004 - any solutions?

[sechack]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When opening a doc that was created with an older version of Word. The last row of table text before a page break is missing text. This is only in print layout view. If your switch to Draft view, the text is there. Anyone know of a fix?

Generically, adjust either the table or the page size.

Draft View is an unpaginated view: so there is no indication of what will
fit on the page and what won't.

If you format the table correctly, Word will flow rows of a table to the
next page as it needs to to make it all fit. However, if you format a table
with fixed row heights and prevent rows breaking across pages, you will get
interesting issues such as this one.

Allow Word to manipulate the table as it is designed to do, and it will make
things fit for you.
