A table in this document has become corrupted...

[R. Stephen Gracey]

I created a rather large instructor guide in Word--not my
choice--with tables on every page, and text boxes linking
page to page.

All of a sudden, I get the error, "A table in this
document has become corrupted. To recover the contents of
the table: Select the contents of the table and choose
Convert Table to Text from the Table menu."

I've looked through all 65 pages of tables, and they all
look fine: How can I tell which table Word feels is
corrupt, and what does that mean, exactly? The error is
annoying, but the text seems to be fine.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Hi R.,

I'd say copy / paste / save
- text to table
- table
- do whatever you do to make the error message appear

At some point, the error message should tell you when you've
hit the problem table. You can then undo or close without
saving, recreate that table, then bring in the rest of the
document. (Or work through it bit by bit, in case more
tables might be damaged.)
