Text get cut off on page switch if table spans across pages

I have some code that creates a docx document that includes tables. At first i used some other code that could create doc files, through html, but to update it i now use docx instead, which is build differently. But the problem Im facing after the switch is that text gets cut off through the middle when the table spans across a page. See screenshot below.

 

The only thing I've found to work, is if i change the table theme when the document is opened in word, but I cant find a way to do this via xml.

 

It is also worth noting that the document is generated via code, that creates a html file holding the main content, and loaded via the <altChunk> tag in the xml

 

If i upload the document to word online there is however no issue

 

I've tried lots of things in the xml which is used in the docx generation, like padding, spacing, line-height etc. but haven't found anything yet that works, and at this point im out of ideas, hence why i reach out to the community.

    Is your data is importing as a series of textboxes or as a Word table?  Or is it regular text with paragraph borders?  It does not appear to be regular text by its behavior.  Can you edit the code so that after your import, Word changes the font to something else and then changes it back?

    Can you save a problem document on OneDrive or DropBox and post a share link here so we can look at the actual document structure?
