Default Tables: Can't find the Open and Repair option

I have a corrupted table in Word. The dialog box that pops up states:

"You can recover the contents of the document and the table by closing the
document and reopening it using the Open and Repair option of the Open dialog
(File menu). To find the Open and Repair option, select the down arrow next
to the Open button. The Open and Repair option is at the bottom of the menu.
After the file is repaired, the corruption or incorrect formatting of all
tables in the document should be corrected."

However, there is no down arrow next to Open in the File Menu. Is there
another way to access the Repair option?

You have to actually click Open on the File menu to open the Open dialog.
Then click the arrow beside the Open button in that dialog.

Thanks, Suzanne. I accidentally hit NO to "Did this post answer you
question."However, I was able to fix the table using your information.
