SYMPTOMS

When you print an HTML document that contains multiple pages of tables, the last table on the page may be truncated. As a result, the table may not be printed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if a page break is calculated to fall between two rows of a table and the second row is a nested table. The height of the second row is calculated to zero and it is not visible either in Print Preview or in the printed document.
