Yuck: a terribly designed document full of unused tables in tables which runs right to the edge of the paper (or past).
Prior to the regression, import table spills off the screen, appears to be blank, and miraculously the layout matches the number of pages (11) seen in Word 2003.
After the regression, the table runs to the print margin (not to the edge of the page), appears to be blank, and is shortened to 7 pages long.

Reversing the column width (from 99%, 1% to 1%, 99%) mostly "fixes" the document for both before and after the regression.

I don't know why MSWord allows a 100% table to spill over the edge of the page. I'd guess it is a bug on their part related to all those table-in-tables somehow.

Hopefully a simpler document shows up that better exposes any bugs. This document that already hide all of the content is only unusable in a different way now.

The regression patch was for import. This bug report primarily focuses on export, so that means an uncovered existing bug? The huge number of pages is because of the 1% width column, so the content goes on forever now that it isn't hidden off-page.

repro 7.6+
I noticed that a lot of extra text is now seen after the table has ended as well.
