Description Ash 2019-12-21 00:02:07 UTC
Description:
On my old pc (which had windows 8.1) I used Microsoft Works Word Processor 7 for most of my documents but I recently got a new laptop because my old pc doesn't work anymore. So I was able to recover the files and transfer them to my new laptop which runs windows 10 64-bit. Now because Works 7 cant work on it I downloaded LibreOffice 6.3 to open the Works 7 files. I am able to open up most files on LibreOffice Writer with no problems. However some files where I have inserted tables in them wont show; the tables are gone along with the information/text in the tables. Everything else that isn't in the table is fine. Note: This has not happened with all documents that have inserted tables, only some of them. A lot of my other documents with tables are perfectly fine showing the info/text.
