Data Row spanning page boundary in Word to PDF conversion

I have some Word documents from a client, with very long lists in certain table cells. This causes those table rows to span a page boundary in Word, no matter that I set the table row properties to disallow it. It also causes the table to look bad. Headings are repeated on every page as appropriate.

Since I am saving the Word doc as PDF and remediating it as a PDF for return to the client, does this matter? I mean, the user can choose to read the PDF not page-by-page anyway, correct? Thanks,
Alan
