Default Corrupt table in Word

Hello,

When I open a document (312) pages, I get an error
message saying that there is a table in the document that
is corrupt and that I should select the table and convert
it to text. The document is huge and there are many many
tables. Is there any way to find out which one of the
tables is corrupt?

Thanks in advance....

Make a copy of the document, then open the copy, select about half of it and
cut and paste to a new document. Save the two halves of the original
document that you will now have, and then open each one in turn. Repeat
this process with the half containing the corrupt table until you end up
with a document that tells you it has a corrupt table and it only contains
one table.
