Default Converting a docx in '07 w/a table won't convert to Word '03

Bob:
The table was originally created in Excel 2007 and 'pasted' into Word '07.
Some minor formatting was performed in Word like page centering - nothing
unusual.

I can get you a copy of the file - but it has been changed while trying to
fix the problem.

Hi J.,

Was the file created in the Word 2007 release or a beta version or first created in an earlier Word version?

Can you post a link to or email me a copy of the file where this is happening?

I created a document in Word '07 that had a table spanning 6 pages. I saved
the document as "Word 97-2003" type document. The 'saved' document's table
was 'trashed' after page 1. It appeared as though Page 2 was overwritten by
Page 3...Page 3 was overwritten by Page 4...etc.

The only way to get the table into an '03 version doc was to Copy and Paste.

Suggestions to 'overcome' this (without the 'copy & paste)?
