Default Cursor jumps to first page of document when scrolling up past intext tables

We have report templates that have intext tables. For some reason,
when scrolling up in the document, when I come across any of the
intext tables, the cursor wll jumpt to the very top of the document.
There is no problem with scrolling downwards, just up. What is
causing this, and is there a way to make it stop because it is a huge
time waster and pain in the backside. Thanks.

Hi Phrank,

hard to say. And I'm not sure I know what you mean by an "intext
table". The most usual thing would be damaged document structures. In
this case, it could be the document, or only the table parts.

Hold Ctrl while starting Word to go into Safe Mode. If now you copy all
but the last paragraph mark to a new document, do you still see the
behavior in the new document?

I will try this tomorrow and let you know tomorrow night. Thanks! By
the way, what I mean by an 'intext table' is simple a Word data table
inserted in the middle of sections of text. Very routine, I would
have thought anyway. Thanks again.

Mmm. And now I'm not sure what's meant by "data table". Is this just a
Word table something has been typed into? Or do you mean the result of
a DATABASE field? (I'm assuming, we're not dealing with an Excel
spreadsheet...)
