STRANG ERROR

[JEN]

This error message may be the result of a corrupt table in the current
document.

You can recover the contents of the document and the table by closing the
document and reopening it using the Open and Repair option of the Open dialog
(File menu). To find the Open and Repair option, select the down arrow next
to the Open button. The Open and Repair option is at the bottom of the menu.
After the file is repaired, the corruption or incorrect formatting of all
tables in the document should be corrected.

If the document still has errors in a table after a repair, you may want to
examine each table to see if any text is too long for any given cell or row,
or an incomplete table was created or imported into the document.

HOW DO I FIX THIS, IT WONT LET ME OPEN THE DOCUMENT. IT SAYS CYCLIC ERROR???
PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
THANK YOU

Open and Repair will solve many but not all problems, it is a good start
though.
Have you tried any of the following:
Copying all but the last paragraph mark into a new document is a common cure
for file corruption.
Or open new file, Insert, File and select the corrupt file.
If that doesn't work, try opening the document in WordPad.
If all else fails, go back to the Open dialog in Word and set the "Files of
type" box to "Recover Text from Any File". You'll get a lot of garbage, but
some or all of the text should be there.
Have a look here:http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/corruptdoc.htm
Hope this helps

If it doesn't open, how do you copy all but the final para mark and paste
into a new document?

That was probably a cyclic redundancy error? It suggests the document is
badly corrupted. Which OS and version of Word are you using and are they
patched fully up to date?

Was the document on your local hard drive or was it copied via removable
media?

As the document won't open using the Open and Repair option, then either
open it using the Recover Text from any File option or open it with WordPad.
That should at least let you recover the text.

Thank You so much!!! I was able to get the information to the Notepad. I had
to start a whole new document, but I am forever grateful to you for helping
me recover the data!
