Yes, our product fails miserably:

---
XFC error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
+---------------------------------------
| com.xmlmind.fo.converter.docx.Table.layout(Table.java:554)
...
---

But, Apache FOP fails too (probably for the same reason, but with a more 
sensible error message):

---
org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: 
file:/home/hussein/tmp/userguide.fo:1627:148: "fo:table-row" is missing 
child elements. Required content model: (table-cell+) (See position 
1627:148)
---

Your userguide.fo seems to have many problems (not only the above fatal 
one). The simplest would be to first fix them all.

It's quite difficult to use your userguide.fo.

All the image files are missing. Moreover the image locations are 
specified using file paths and not URIs, which is incorrect.

---
XFC warning: cannot resolve URI "D:\XXX\YYY\ZZZ.jpg" 
(file:/home/hussein/tmp/userguide.fo, line #632, column #13902)
---

It should be "file:/D:/XXX/YYY/ZZZ.jpg"

More info about image paths found this FAQ:
---
My .fo file contains a fo:external-graphic element which points to an 
existing JPEG file, but this image is not showing in the document 
generated by XFC. Are there known bugs related to image support in XFC?

Sorry but this is unlikely to happen (for real-world documents).

Useful tips found in this FAQ:
---
I cannot get the results that I want. Can you help me tweak my XSLT 
stylesheet?
