The Table stream doesn't actually contain text associated with tables (rows, columns, cells) in the document. As such, it's really misnamed. It really contains formatting information (style sheets, section table, etc), and other auxiliary information (bin tables, etc). Refer to the "Format of the Table Stream" in the binary file format doc for the gory details.
