It's backward compatible to Word 2.0 AFAIK.

Yes, Word can see text in tables for the purposes of TOC,
cross-references, etc. (Word 2007 can also see the text in text boxes,
for that matter, but that ability is not backward-compatible.) Because
frames are sort of wrapped (though not in the drawing layer as text
boxes are), they have to be anchored to a text paragraph, and they can
sometimes wander in ways that are a pain to control. Tables (provided
they don't become wrapped) will stay where you put them because they are
in the text layer, part of the text flow. There are many excellent
reasons to use frames, but when tables can be used instead and serve the
purpose just as well, they are preferred.

Thank you very much Suzanne.

cross-references, etc.

Is this one backward compatible to Word 2002?
