Table incompatibilities with Word 2007?

Hi all,

I'm using docx4j to create table in an existing docx.

After I create the table and add several rows/cols, it saves fine and I can open it using Word 2011 (on Mac). The table looks perfect, and everything works as expected.

However, one of my customers cannot open the file using Word 2007. I need to get the doc and Word 2007 to reproduce for myself, but in the meantime, are there any known incompatibilities that would make a table not work on Word 2007, but in newer Words?

Thanks!

No known incompatibilities, though that is not to say that you can't produced valid WordML which Word (or some other consumer) might not like. Microsoft used to document some of its departures from the spec at it document interoperability initiative website, but decomissioned that site a year or so ago.

Is there anything unusual about your table?
