Default finding a corrupted table in word?

When you select a file (one that isn't already open) in the Open dialog and
click on the arrow beside the Open button, you're seeing Open and Repair
dimmed? I can't think why that would be. The only two options I see dimmed
are "Open in Browser" (presumably available only for .htm and other Web page
file types) and "Open with Transform" (no idea what that means--something to
do with XML and XSLTs--so presumably I don't need it).

Thanks, Suzanne --I have tried, but as noted, the drop-down menu through
which Open and Repair is accessible is greyed-out. Is there any other way

to
reach/select the open and repair function?

Wait, just thought of something --I will get into tools/customize/ and see
if the Open and REpair function is something I can put directly onto the
window menu...

I'll still appreciate any info you can provide, Suzanne, since it would

seem
from your large presence in these forums that you are a total genius in

this
stuff!!

I have had the same problem as Wonderful_Wilz --but can't access Open

and
Repair function, which is greyed out in the Open.. dialog box. How do I

get
the Open and Repair function to work?

If it is available in your version, have you tried using Open and

When I open a large Word document with many tables, it tells me that

a
table
is corrupt and to convert it to text. However it doesn't tell me

which
one.
There are 100's! do I have to convert them all to text one at a time

save
and
reopen every time until I find the corrupted table?
