2.1.358 Part 1 Section 17.13.7.2, permStart (Range Permission Start)

For additional notes that apply to this portion of the standard, please see the notes for permEnd, §17.13.7.1(a).

a.   The standard says that if colFirst or colLast is greater than the number of columns in table, both attributes should be ignored.

Word does not ignore the attributes and instead behaves unpredictably.

b.   The standard does not specify behavior when both the ed and edGrp attributes are present.

In Word, if the ed attribute is present, the edGrp attribute will be ignored.

c.   The standard states that the value of the 'id' attribute can be any string.

Word allows only 32-bit integers for the id attribute.

d.   The standard allows an unbounded number of range permissions.

Word will not open a file with too many range permissions (32752 if the uiCompat97to2003 element is present, 2147483647 otherwise).
