Is there a fix a patch. Every time I open a word 2000 doc (with a table in
the doc)with word XP - I get a corupt message.

It only happens when a table has been made in 2000. IF there are no tables
in the 2000 doc.,XP opens it fine.

I've tried open and repair to no avail.

Any help
Thank you

Check the compatibility tab, and make sure that the document is set
for Word XP. (Tools, Options, Compatibility)

Most of the options in the compatibility tab cause some weird things
to happen, so unchecking them could help. Unfortunately,
compatibility options are on a document by document basis.

Alternatively, is the table coming from the same Word 2000 machine?
You might check to see if it's installation is corrupted. Ask
whoever, to perform a detect and repair, and make sure that both
machines are at the latest and greatest service level.
