It has its own set of shortcomings that the users are usually aware of. One of the major problems is when users create documents with an excessive number of pages. The document becomes bloated as each page becomes longer than the last.
This problem becomes even worse when there are multiple tables in the document. A table often contains information that needs to be accessed in every single page of the document.
This problem can be alleviated by merging some tables into one large table that can be used throughout the document instead of having each page use its own version of this table.
Another common problem with Microsoft Word is nested fields in a document, which causes a form on the front end to become too deep, making it difficult for users to understand what they are supposed to do with their information or what they are supposed to enter in order to access certain data on their pages or forms.
Nested fields occur when there is more than one field on a form (a text box or a checkbox) and it can get complicated if this field is connected with other fields through a link field. For example, if a user is filling out a form that asks for a person's name and address, they will often want to enter the street address and zip code.
To fix this error, you need to try a few solutions.
A solution to fix it is to add another row between the rows of your data table. So it will look like this:
Copy and paste your original data table into a new one and delete the original data table by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + Delete".
Now your new data table should look like this: You need to use the F2 key to create a new row on top of your original data table, so go to Home > Tools > Table > Insert Rows > Add Row at Top of Table and press Enter. After that click on the "Toggle Table Columns" button to toggle your fields so that they will be hidden by default. And you can toggle the "Hide" button to show your fields. Finally, save your new data table by pressing Ctrl + S.
