"Export to Word" documents will truncated text if too much content are inside table cells

XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create a new page
      2. Add a table with a couple of cells (though the issue can be reproduced with just 1 cell as well)
      3. In each cell, add a large amount of text (e.g. several paragraphs of content)
      4. Save page
      5. Tools > Export to Word

      Expected result

      The resulting Word doc will contain all the text and viewable by the user

      Actual result

      When viewing the resulting Word doc, any large body of text within a table cell that exceeds the size of one Word page will be truncated and not viewable

      Other info

      If the Word document is exploded and the underlying XML file examined, the full body of the text is actually all there, just not viewable through Word.

      Example of the exported page using Confluence 7.7.4

      Workaround

      Export to PDF and then convert the PDF file to Word will work for getting the file converted to Word. This requires the use of a third-party tool to convert PDF to Word.
