Hi Norman,

>I take it you want this to read with assistive technology
Yes, we are a tool vendor and we are passing this text to Microsoft Active Accessibility API. But the problem can be reproduce simply by reading this text in a Notepad file. The length of the phrase seems to affect this as well. The screen reader seems to read this okay:

Row 2, Column 3

But it has problems with:

Layout table 1, Rows 2, Columns 3

I also noticed that words in plural form, such as "rows" as opposed to "row", also affects where the pause is placed.
