Hi, <br>
I'm having a weird issue with text within tables in my word document.  For some reason, if I delete the last row of a table that I'm working on, the previous row's text disappears.  What's even more strange is that the first line of text disappears if there are two lines of text in the row, and the second row is fine.   <br><br>Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, not enough detail to answer.

1)  Select the entire row and choose Edit>Clear>Clear Formatting.

Now what happens?

2)  Select the entire table and choose Table>Convert>Table to Text.

Then, without moving the selection, Table>Convert>Text to Table.

That re-creates the table.  How is it now?

I suspect you have nested rows and columns in the table so that whenever you
touch a cell, it hits rows you were not expecting.

Cheers

I'm having the exact same problem over multiple documents with a variety of styles, fonts, and never any nested tables.  Some were originally created in Word 2008, and then revised on a PC version of Word, and some were originally created on the PC version, but so far I've only seen it AFTER the document has been saved using the PC version. <br><br>The consistent symptom is that the last row of the table on a page is missing most of the text (there are always a few words of text remaining).  if I add a row beneath the problem row, the text reappears.  It doesn't appear to be a style problem. I can clear all formatting and the problem continues.  Saving as .doc vs. .docx doesn't make a difference. <br><br>My version is Word 2008 12.2.4. <br>
The PC version is Word 2007 but I don't have the detail update info.

Check that PC Word is fully up-to-date.

They had a bug that used to cause this.  It was cured with one of their
updates.

Cheers
