corrupted tables
Hi, I have a load of word documents that contain tables with borders around
certain cells within the tables, but some cells without borders. Now on my PC at home they look and print fine and also if you insert the document into another file they work fine (XP and word 2003) At work (XP + Word 2002), whilst they look fine and print fine, if you insert he document into another file or just copy and paste the table into a new document, the table gets borders around all cells. Has anyone heard of this. I did try recreating the table in the existing doc and this does cure the problem, but I have a hell of a lot of docs to 'repair' and was wondering if there is any quick way to fix them (nb not all tables in the document become 'corrupted' which is the strange thing!). Any ideas anyone? Thanks. |

corrupted tables
Hi
The problem may be related to the underlying Table style of your tables. The tables are not corrupt. Word 2002 just has some peculiarities to do with borders and tables. The following exchange of messages was about Autotexts containing tables, but the conclusions probably apply to copying and pasting from your document too: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...128e82f71ee780 Hope this helps.

corrupted tables
Brilliant.... it's dead right. The tables that print and copy okay have the
'tablenormal' style and those that don't are 'tablegrid'. Thank you! "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ... Hi The problem may be related to the underlying Table style of your tables.
