Nested Tables Going Crazy!
I'm using Word 2007. Created a document that is 16 pages long and is made up
complete of MANY nested tables. If I save it as a Word 2007 document (.docx), when I go back into Word and reopen the file, it opens fine and is still 16 pages. If I save it as a Word 97-2003 compatible document (.doc), when I go back into Word 2007 and open it, the page count continually clicks off pages beyond the 16 pages into the hundreds of pages. The only way to stop it is to exit the file. If I scroll thru the pages while the page count is rising, it looks like the first few pages are correct but after that table "pieces" are scattered over many pages and also a lot of blank pages. Interestingly, this abnormal rising page count only happens if I open the file from within Word 2007, from the list of latest files. If I open this Word 97-2003 compatible document by double clicking on it under the folder it resides in, it opens perfectly ....... 16 pages, not rapidly increasing page count. All my other Word documents (.doc and .docx) reopen just fine over and over, no matter how I reopen them. This is ONLY Word document I have that uses nested tables, so my suspicion is high that these nested tabels are the culprit (especially when I file it as a Word 97-2003 compatible document). When I am complete with this nested table document, my plan was to e-mail it as a Word 97-2003 compatible document to several associates across the country, who all use different versions of Word. But now my confidence is low that many will have trouble with it. Any thoughts out there as to what I might be doing wrong? Or am I not doing somethign I should be when saving it? Or should I not be using nested tables in docs that I need to ultimately make Word 97-2003 compatible documents? Thanks ..... Rick |
