I have set up a small table containing word Fillin fields and saved it as a
template. When I open the template the fillin prompts appear but the table
in which the fields were set, disappears. When the fillin fields have been
completed, the table appears as normal.This happened on 2 PC's out of 5. Is
there a setting I've missed.

Does the table have borders, or is it just the gridlines that you are seeing
when you see the table? If it is the latter, it could be that on the 2
machines that do not show the table, the Gridlines are not set to be shown
(Table>Show Gridlines)

Aside from that, I would suggest that you should probably be using a
userform rather than fillin fields.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:
