Hi,
We’re running Aspose with files containing tables with certain formatting. When this happens, the outputted file seems to have shifted cells around, overlays cells on top of other cells and deletes some.
It seems to be related to a combination of multiple rows being used for a single heading, rows spanning across multiple pages and some of those rows being completely empty.
GitHub - zbowyer20/aspose-slides-repro at words-repro - please ignore the repo name, we’ve so far found this in Aspose Words 
This repo includes the sample file: aspose-slides-repro/testFiles/table.docx at words-repro · zbowyer20/aspose-slides-repro · GitHub and can be run as a Spring Boot application to spit out the actual output locally.
Aspose Words version: 25.4
@zbowyer20bi As I can see your code simply convert the document to PDF. So the problem can be reproduced using the following simple code:
Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
doc.save("C:\\temp\\out.pdf");
In the output document table is moved to the next page and the document layout is broken. Is this the problem you have enconuntered?

That’s right - one of the key markers is that the footnote was overlaid on the bottom row.
Thanks Alexey.

Hi @alexey.noskov , this has been impacting our customers for some time now. Is there an expected timeframe when we might expect a fix to be available? Thanks!
@zbowyer20bi Unfortunately, I have no good news to share with you. The issue is related to extremally complex task - footnote balancing with floating objects. The issue is already escalated to priority support level. but unfortunately, due to high complexity of the task and unclear MS Word behavior development of this issue has been postponed. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience.
Thanks for the heads up @alexey.noskov. We are receiving more reports of problems due to this issue - has anything changed in the last few weeks?
@zbowyer20bi The issue is already raised to priority support. But unfortunately it is still postponed due to the reasons described above. Unfortunately, we have no additional news for your regarding the issue.
