Default Table in Word corrupt. File not usable. Please help.

It helps to know which version of Word you are using as well as the OS. Have
you tried the Open and Repair option?

Hello. I have Windows Vista on a laptop and Windows XP on my desk. Both
systems have been used for a Word document I've been working on.
This Word document has a contents table and one other freestanding table.
One of them has become corrupt -- I do not know which one.
I see a discussion string about this, but the solution proposed there does
not work for me. When I open the document, I get the error message about
the
corrupt file, but the cursor doesn't work, page down doesn't work, the
down
arrow doesn't work, the links above doesn't work. The moment I click on
the
document to get a cursor, Word no longer responds (I get the not
responding
message up top), and then it just sits there. If I click again anywhere,
the
document goes gray, and all I can do is close it.
Can you help me recover this document or at least print it out?
Thank you so much for any help.
