.....means the document text wraps around the table, not that the text in the
cell wraps? Oh boy...I hope they bring the ? back (what's this)...

Hi Loretta,

OCR programs create weird documents, too.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if they create floating tables.

You should be able to turn them into "inline" tables with the macro below.
They will likely move around though, so you may need to do a bit of editing
to make the document look nice again.

Dim myTable As Table
For Each myTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
myTable.Rows.WrapAroundText = False
Next myTable

(See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm for help on
macros)

Regards,
Klaus

Tables should not be wrapped (and therefore should not be
converted to framed tables in Word 97) unless the user has so
specified. But (a) it's all too easy to nudge a table the least bit
(using the table handle) in Print Layout view, thereby making
it wrapped (working in Normal view is therefore safer), and
(b) tables imported from the Web are an entirely different
animal.
