Word closes when I hit return
Can someone throw some light on this odd problem?
I'm using XP Home and tables in Word 2003 with track changes switched on. When I click in one particular cell, the research pane opens on the left of the screen. Then when I hit return in the cell, the document closes. I have no idea what is going on. I'm hoping somebody out there does! -- Many thanks JD |

Word closes when I hit return
Hi Jackie,
The table seems to be "corrupt" (which often is just some weird combination of settings that the developers didn't expect, and that Word can't handle). To "de-corrupt" the table, I'm afraid you'll have to convert it to (tab-delimited) text, then back to table, and reapply any (table) formatting. Hope the table wasn't terribly complex (merged cells, borders and shading, ....)? Regards, Klaus "Jackie D" wrote: Can someone throw some light on this odd problem?

Before you rebuild the table, you could try if accepting all changes in the
table gets rid of the corruption? Klaus |

Hi Klaus
Accepting the changes did get rid of the corruption. When I reopened it everything was back to normal. Thanks for your help -- Jackie D "Klaus Linke" wrote: Before you rebuild the table, you could try if accepting all changes in the table gets rid of the corruption? Klaus |
