= SYMPTOMS =

Microsoft Word for Windows will return an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) if you open an RTF file that contains a table formatted with negative row indents.

= WORKAROUND =

To avoid this problem, remove the negative-indent formatting on the table. You can obtain the same type of formatting by formatting your table as an absolutely positioned object (APO). For more information on APOs, query on the keyword APO.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem was corrected in version 1.1a.
