Wonky. Good word.
Save the files as RTF, close, reopen, re-save to DOC. That usually gets rid
of table problems.

I'm documenting software and creating job aids. I'm creating these job
aids
in tables, usually not more than five or six pages long.
I've been working with these tables for more than a year, editing,
changing,
formatting, merging cells, splitting cells, inserting graphics.
After a year of mucking about with these documents, four of them (out of
more than 50) just recently began getting corrupt.
When I open them, I get the corrupted table message.
One of the things I'm doing is linking these documents to a master index
which is to be put online and incorporated into the software for which I'm
training.
I've done this before--in February-- with no problems.
Can I be confusing Word with all the changes?
Why these four docs and not the others? I don't know what's different
about
them.
BTW: Office 2003.
I'd really like any ideas. I don't know if any more tables are going to go
wonky on me.
HELP!!!
