Hi ?B?TW9uYQ==?=,

I am working in Word 2002 and found a problem when editing documents created
in an older version of word that have complex tables (these are from Word
95). After awhile of editing, the tables become corrupt.

I found a support record in the knowledge base that addresses this exact
problem (Article ID 328232) and says that this has been corrected with Word
2002 Service Pack 3. But I have Service Pack 3 and am still experiencing
this problem.

yuck
I guess I'd try saving the document in HTML format (round-trip, so no data
loss), close, open and save again as a Word document. With any luck, that will
lose the stuff Word 2000 is having trouble with.

Has anyone found a further fix for this problem? I am trying to edit a
multi-chaptered manual which is all in table format and find it very
frustrating to have to constantly repair the document.
