Some text in a multiple-line table row disappears in a text box.
WORKAROUND
Use the following methods:
Method 1: Force the table row to break to the next linked text box by
inserting additional blank lines, or removing unnecessary
lines before the table.
Method 2: Resize the text box and/or table to control where the table
rows break.
STATUS

the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
If a table row is large and expands to several lines, Microsoft Word
permits that row to break across page breaks, if needed. When this
happens, part of the table row would be on one page of the document and
the remainder of the same table row would be on the next page of the
document. This behavior of Word tables is selected by default. To check
this option, select the Word table then, on the Table menu, click Cell
Height and Width, then select the Row tab. The option that allows for
this behavior is "Allow Row To Break Across Pages."
This behavior is not supported inside Text Boxes.
A single-line table row breaks from one text box to the next linked
text box, as expected. However, a multiple-line table row does not
break from one text box to the next linked text box until the entire
table row is forced out of the current text box. This behavior causes
a multiple-line table row to be chopped off until the entire table row
is forced to the next linked text box.
