I am working in a 2007 document. 116 pgs (I know, over 100 pgs in older Word
versions caused problems; maybe still?). There are pages and pages of tables.
Several tables came from documents originally created in 2003. I am ending up
sporadically having nested tables -- up to 6 or 7 tables suddenly and
inexplicably on top of one another. I have to click to activate the table
properties and either cut the top table or sometimes I must click through to
access the Frame dialog box and click "remove frame." Both methods are
necessary - sometimes I can click the properties symbol to access a top-layer
table and cut it; other times I cannot activate it and must click the
external edge of the table (which I guess is the bottom table), then get to
the Frame box, remove frame, and then cut the table.
Can anyone explain this or have a better solution? thank you.
