Hi,
Often when I work with rather big documents (~40-60 pages) with a lot of
formatting, tables, headings etc, they get all messed up after a while.
The file ends up being impossible to work with and the only solution that I
have come up with so far is to copy-paste all the data (as plain text) to a
new document and redo all the formatting work.
For example, I have a document that is 40 pages with approx 40 tables in it.
After removing some tables (to update them with fresh data) it was
impossible to move the cursor past the deleted section. I tried to install
StarOffice and imported the document into that and in Staroffice all the
tables (that I deleted) was still in the document but empty. The tables are
NOT possible to see in Word.
Another example is that when I insert crossreferences to headings, some
items in the list of headings are repeated several times.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for those problems? The work with fixing
these problems are so !"#?& unnecessary...
Best regards,
Tobias G?rdner

Hi Tobias,
Hmmm, sounds like document corruption, although I've never encountered
anything on this scale before. Do all these documents base on the same
template? Which version of Word are you using?
