How do I find a corrupted table in a document?
I have a document that someone else created. When I open it, I get the
following message: "A table in this document has become corrupted. To recover the contents of the table: select the table and choose Convert Table to Text from the Table Menu. [OK]" The document has over 20 tables. How do I identify the corrupted table? I don't want to convert all the tables in order to correct a single corrupted one. Thank you. |

How do I find a corrupted table in a document?
Working with a copy of the file, delete half of it, save and then re-open.
If the problem persists, repeat the process, and keep doing so until there is only one table in what's left of the original document. If the first half delete eliminated the problem, the start afresh with another copy of the document, but this time delete the other half, etc. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Pen Gwynn" wrote in message ...
