Misbehaving tables when converting to Adobe

G

First I'll appologize for the length of this post, but this problem is
complex and hard to define!

I am in the process of creating a 900+ document broken down into 21 chapters
in Word 2000. I then take the combined chapters and convert to pdf with
Adobe PDFMaker. This has been a six month project (thus far).

Each chapter has a TOC and the entire book has a master TOC.

Some background: On recent conversions to pdf I noticed that the TOC was no
longer a hyperlink to the subject. Upon extensive investigation, I narrowed
the problem down to one of the chapters. In trying to trouble shoot the
conversion problem into pdf, I tested PDFMaker 7.0. This version said I had
a corrupted table.
Unfortunately, there are 72 tables (in this chapter) to isolate.

Here is my problem: I have noticed that when I convert each table one by
from the styles in use to normal, 25 of those tables came back with blank for
the style instead of Normal. When I deleted these tables, I was able to
successfully convert to pdf.

Does anyone have any idea why these tables would not preserve the styles
assign to them? I have tried rebuilding these tables, but seem to
reintroduce this "corruption" every time I manipulate the table.

I have reinstalled both apps without success.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
