Converting word table to pdf

I am converting a word table with 2 columns and 51 rows to pdf. It is part of a larger document but it is where the accessibility checks in pdf are getting confused.

I have been slowly adding the rows to the table and retyping it from scratch. It is fine until I add the 47th row. At that point, it is at the end of a page and the pdf combines this row with the row at the end of the prior page (this is what I see in the accessibility tags anyway). So now it thinks that my table is failing the regularity test.

This document is a template that is going to have lots of versions that are each going to be converted to pdf by themselves. This table is a standard table and I cannot have it failing accessibility or having people edit the pdf. Any clues on what I should look at in the Word setup to help it pass this test. Note it does pass if I enable advanced tagging in the acrobat preferences in word but then a whole host of other problems occur (in particular with weird TOC1 tags throughout the document).
