[title is pretty self-explanatory. I have example documents, but I can't attach them, because they are connected to my work and cannot be shared. The steps to reproduce should look something like:
[[br]([br]]
The)]

  1. Position yourself on a table cell that you know to contain at least two lines of text in MS Word 2003 (later versions may produce the same too)
  2. Read the cell line by line by arrowing down.
  3. When you hit the last line, you'll be surprised to hear the entire cell read out, not just the last line.
  4. If you have another cell underneath this cell, you can slip into its first line by pressing arrow down once more.
  5. If you press Arrow up now, you end up in the last line of the multiline cell and point 3 manifests again.
    [[br]]
    Interestingly if you move around in the multiline cell with arrow left/right or ctrl+arrow left/right, the bug doesn't manifest.
