In a newly inserted table in Word there is no space after the last column and
before the row end character, but in this particular document there is one.

Also if you type something at that position then the characters move to the
first cell of the next row.

It may be true that this is some sort of malformed document that is not
possible to create with Word, yet it seems to tolerate it.

This is used by a third party application, which generates a page long summary
from some data it maintains. This document is the first few rows of that
summary.

The small row height growth caused by the 12 pt TNR "space" being inserted into
the 7 pt Tahoma + 11 pt Arial Narrow rows causes the last two rows of the page
slip to the next page, to the frustration of users.

All in all, we kinda *really* need this sort of document to work. 
Let me confirm this, half of my workday was spent on understanding this doc :D.
