I've got a Word XP document with a table in a table. When opened with
Word97(SR2b), the inner table does not show properly, the text shows but
without the table. Any ideas? Does Word97 not allow for a table inside
another table?

Nested tables weren't supported in Word 97. You could try saving from Word
XP with the Save Options set to "Disable features", but it probably will
just warn you it is going to do what you see now.
