I have a two cell table.  If I copy the second cell, not
just the text, and paste it as unformatted text seven
otherwise unseen paragraphs appear.  The text is not
hidden text and not part of track changes.

I have worked in tech support for a large law firm for
over 5 years and haven't seen this one.  On further
investigation I've found that if I convert the table to
text and then back to a table, the extra paragraphs
appear.  If I run a spell check, the client's name appears
in the extra paragraphs.  If I open the document in a text
editor, Conversions Plus or Quick View Plus, the
additional paragraphs are seen.  So, I'm fairly certain
this is a corrupt table.

This leads to my questions..  First, has anyone seen
anything like this?  Second, how can we prevent this from
happening again?  We have EZ-Clean to clean the metadata
from our documents -is there any utility that can detect
and pinpoint corruption in Word tables?  (By the way, we
are running Office XP and the document is an XP doc
according to the compatiblity.)

My guess is that the recipient has another word processing
program and during the conversion to that program, they
found these extra paragraphs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
