Error Message "A table in this document has become corrupted"
When the users attempt to open a previously saved Word XP (2002) document
they get the error €śA table in this document has become corrupted€ť. My network setup consists of a server running Windows 2000 Server where templates being accessed by Windows 2000 Professional workstations on the same LAN but this error also appears when the target files are opened locally on the server as well. According to Microsoft article 328232 this issue is corrected with the installation of office service pack 3. Office service Pack 3 as well as all operating system service packs are loaded on all involved equipment and rebooted as of today but still the error message remains. I have also after verifying all service packs having been installed opened the target file and resaved it only to see the error message return after attempted reopening. |

It might be that there IS a corrupt table in the document. Try splitting
the document into two and then open each half. If one half produces the same message, split it in half again and repeat this process until to isolate the table that is causing the problem. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Ray Turley A+,MCP,MCSE" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the suggestion Doug but I am confused and perhaps you can
enlighten me. I was under the impression that the Master Document was the source of the corruption according to what I am reading on several webites while I awaited your kind response. This having been said I guess the obvious question is what is corrupted? The Master Document table that controls the overall paganation characteristics or a table within the document itself. The very general nature of the error message is confusing to even the most experienced users. Additionally just out of my own limited experience in this area has any user commented back that the approach you suggest has met with success. I am greatful for your contribution and mean no disrespect but what you suggest will require a great deal of time investment as the document in question is very large and will cost my customer greatly so I have to ask. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply. "Doug Robbins" wrote: It might be that there IS a corrupt table in the document. Try splitting the document into two and then open each half.

That's the first mention of a Master Document being involved and I assume
that by what you have said, you may have seen the article "Why Master Documents corrupt" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Wh...ocsCorrupt.htm and "How to recover a Master Document" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm But as far as finding the location of a corrupt table in an ordinary document, I can assure you that the method that I recommended is the best way to go about it. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
