I imported a large document developed under Office 2000 on a PC into Word for Mac. Many of the tables are fine, but several of the tables have an issue with either the first or last row. The problem is that some of the words seem to be whited out. The words are still there, because when I place the cursor on words I can see and use the arrow keys, the cursor is still moving across the letters I cannot see, one at a time.
I've tried the following:
- Changing the fill color a few times. When I do this, the effected text is still hidden behind what appear to be white rectangles.
- Changing the font color a few times. Same result.
- I have added a row, retyped the missing content, and then deleted the effected row. The new last row then gets corrupted in the same way.
- SOMEtimes when a table is broken across a page boundary, putting a hard page break before the table makes the problem go away. Not always, however. Also, I have several tables that are longer than a page and so will of necessity break across multiple pages.
This problem occurs in most or all of the columns, but always on the last or first row.
I am new to Mac, and trying to make a clean break from PC. I am a PowerUser of Word on a PC for desktop publishing. I want to use Word to ease moving the document back and forth between my Mac and my wife's PC. She's not ready to embrace Open Office yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently in Iraq, so please respond here but also to (e-mail address removed).
