MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2006Corrupt tables
I know this isn't much to go on but I have to try. I have a user that believes his word document is getting too large to work with. It is full of tables and had a logo inserted into the first page. He gets to the point where he gets an error that his document has a corrupted table. I'm not sure yet when exactly this happens or what exactly he is doing. I have a copy of the doc at a stable point in it's usage. The file right now is only 620kb. That doesn't seem very large to me. It's 56 pages, half of which are tables. He also gets some message about not having enough memory to save when he inserts a logo. Again, I'm not exactly sure how he is doing things. Another user also had this problem with this same document. Is there anything in particular that would corrupt tables in word? I know 1 user has 2003, maybe both. Any help with what little I have given you would help. Thanks in adavance. StressMonkey wrote in <uIaRC47vGHA.1272@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl> > I know this isn't much to go on but I have to try.

It wouldn't be the first time that someone's used the massive hi-res image from the designer and then scaled it within Word - the file size unfortunately staying the same as the original.  SignaturePeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies. I'd start by looking at the logo as Peter suggests. (The message about insufficient memory is a clue: Word uses that message for generic "there's something wrong and I don't know what" errors.) However, some documents do tend to develop a problem with corrupt tables. This can be very tedious to deal with, as Word has some ability to rescue the document when you re-open it, and it remains stable until you try to do something in the corrupt table itself. Try stepping through the tables and do something in each one. If you can narrow it down to a single table or section of the document, the best fix is usually to start a new document and copy everything else across. >I know this isn't much to go on but I have to try.

I did find a fix that seems to be taking care of the problem. I saved the document as an .htm then saved it back to a .doc. That has worked very well so far. It cut the size of the file by almost 1/2 and they have gotten further on it than they have before with no problems. > I'd start by looking at the logo as Peter suggests.
