Why do tables sometimes get corrupted in a file?
I am working with files that include tables. Sometimes re-opening the file
causes a table to be corrupt. What is the cause of that? And how do you set up a table so it will not happen? |

Sorry, but I've been using tables in Word, intensely for over 10 years
and don't ever remember a table becoming corrupt in any Word docs??? So this isn't a common issue as far as I know. But your question is a bit vague...what do you mean by corrupt? What is happening? What's the problem? What are you trying to do? What versin do you have? A little more info would help. You might want to check out this article for more info about getting help...

I have version 2003. I am copyediting files that contain tables, then sending
them by email. When the file is subsequently opened (either by the project manager or me), I get the table corrupt error message. And when I look through the file, one or more tables will be messed up, type missing, weird size, etc. It doesn't happen all the time. I am working with files for grade school workbooks. "Dian D.

I've encountered this problem also. I've had success with saving the file as
an rtf and then opening the rtf and resaving as a doc file. "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote: Huh! Thanks for the info. Well, if you ever get another that's messed up...or can get a screen shot of that error message...I would be intrested in seeing them for further investigation. Feel free to email either/both to me directly at dianATmousetrax.com (change AT to @) or contact me through mousetrax.com. I'd like to check this out further, but have never seen the problem myself.
