Corrupted Table

[Brian Harvey]

I have a file that is 120 pages long and has numerous
tables in it. For some reason, when I open the file I get
the message: "A table in this document has become
corrupted. To recover the contents of the table: select
the table and choose Convert Table To Text from the Table
menu".

I have no way of knowing which table is corrupted so I
can't fix this. Anyone have a solution?

Thank you very much, that suggestion was very helpful. It
took me about 45 minutes of playing around with the file
but I was able to find the area of my 120 page document
that had the problem. It turned out to be some "blank
lines" after a table. When I then went into my original
file and delted the suspect lines, the problem went away.
