It sounds like the table in the document may be corrupt. Try selecting the
table and then use Convert Table to Text and the convert it back to a table
again and see if that resolves the issue.

see
if you can use that.

I am importing a table from Word 2007 into a Word 2007 directory (Name
of
company, renewal date, phone number,etc) . I have been able to do this
for
the last year and a half. Just switched to Vista ultimate and it
doesn't
seem
to let me do this for some reason. Upon browsing for the data source
and
choosing the 'ClientDatabase.docx', a prompt appears asking me to now
insert
header record delimiters. I have tried to choose (random) options
because
I
don't know what they want. It never works and there is no option in
the
original word table to add 'header record delimiters'. I don't even
know
what that is! My table doc has a header row with the labels for the
columns.
Any ideas?
