Check what format you're saving the documents as (the 'Files of type' list
on the Open and Save dialogs) -- it sounds like they're being saved as plain
text, not as Word documents. Text files lose all formatting, including
tables.

I'm using WinNT with Word 97. I have lost the table. What I mean is that
tables do not show up. All the text is there, left justified, but not in a
table format. If I go in and create a new doc with a table and save it.
Then open it the table is not there. Anyone have any ideas as to why this
is happening. I will add that just before this happened I was trying to
open a Word text doc. I did something and don't know what.
