Word in Office 365: Can't print selection if it's in a table

How come if I select a table and print, the Print Selection option is disabled, but if I select a table plus one preceding or following line of text, it's enabled?

If I select any part of a table -- a group of rows or columns, or even a piece of text within a single cell -- Print Selection is disabled. I can't print the any part of the table unless I also print something outside it too.
