MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / September 2004"Table is corrupt" & Word crash
Hello, Can anyone suggest a solution - when I open my document i get the message: "Dialogue box message: "A table in this document has become corrupted. To recover the contents of the table: select the table and choose Convert Table to Text from the Table Menu" - but before I can scroll through the dicument to identify thr offending table Word closes down. TIA, Ned You can narrow down the search for the corrupted table by splitting the document in half and determine which half causes a crash, then split that half into two and determine which of those two is the problem and so on.  SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Good luck.
