Hello. I have Windows Vista on a laptop and Windows XP on my desk. Both
systems have been used for a Word document I've been working on.
This Word document has a contents table and one other freestanding table.
One of them has become corrupt -- I do not know which one.
I see a discussion string about this, but the solution proposed there does
not work for me. When I open the document, I get the error message about the
corrupt file, but the cursor doesn't work, page down doesn't work, the down
arrow doesn't work, the links above doesn't work. The moment I click on the
document to get a cursor, Word no longer responds (I get the not responding
message up top), and then it just sits there. If I click again anywhere, the
document goes gray, and all I can do is close it.
Can you help me recover this document or at least print it out?
Thank you so much for any help.

There are separate newsgroups for Microsoft Word, I suggest you post your
question in one of these two:

microsoft.public.word.tables
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=US

microsoft.public.word.newusers
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=US

Thank you, Charlie42. You directed me to the right place. I received some
help this morning and was able to recover my information. I appreciate it.

Nice to hear that newsgroups are still useful.

::There is a tool called Advanced Word Repair. I have used it to repair
many corrupt Word documents on my damaged disks successfully. Its
homepage is 'Advanced Word Repair - Powerful Word recovery tool. Recover
corrupt Word documents. Repair doc files.'
(http://www.datanumen.com/awr/) I'm not sure whether it will work for
your problem, maybe you can just try the free demo.::

Why would anybody use that?
Word has its own Detect and Repair

Open Word, click on HELP Detect and Repair
