Default Multi-Page Table Losing Rows in Some Views

I have a three-page table set up as a form. This form is sent by email to
many different users, both in-house and out-of-house. I've set the row and
page -break parameters so that rows do not break across pages. Users have had
no problem with it at all: It reflows and rebreaks just fine.

One of our subcontractors, however, consistently returns the form weirdly
altered. The form is still locked so that only text fields are accessible,
but now the entire table grid has shifted up on the page. More importantly,
you can only see the whole table in "Normal" view. In "Page Layout" view, you
can only see the first page of the table--the other pages are completely
blank, and the last row on the first page actually cuts off in the middle.
You can't print the entire table in ANY view.

There are also other minor changes in row shading, etc. The subcontractor
SWEARS they haven't done anything to the form, and indeed, we have resupplied
them with fresh templates a few times, but whenever they fill them out, they
come back in the same corrupt way, so I'm tempted to believe them. (There's
no reason for them to keep freaking out the form iin the same way each time.)
I've checked the properties of the row that is breaking in the returned form,
and its setting has changed so that it CAN break across pages.

Help! Any suggestions what's going on? I should mention that we work on Macs
in house (and that that's the platform on which the table was developed), but
that there's no guarantee whether vendors open it in Mac or PC. Might this be
creating a corruption issue? If so, it's kind of weird, because when I open
the form at home on my PC, it works just fine.

Help! Any ideas? We're despearate (and annoyed)!
