[mso] Exercising with Tables in Word (2003+WinXP)

Can anybody put me out of my misery, and shine some light in the darkness?
I have a student with a table which has decided to put itself in the Header
regardless of what we do, including cutting it from the original and
deliberately placing it at the first line in a brand new document fresh off
Normal.dot, so supposedly with no Header & Footer settings.

I also have another student who has (or rather had, as I will explain) a
window to the left of the left ruler (looks like as if Document Map is
checked, or as if Split is selected and operating vertically, but it
contains/ed a blank white-page document).

The file was called 05, and it was somehow connected to another called M in
the same folder with the same "Last modified" details but different size (M
was 20KB, 05 was 44KB), because when we deleted M (not knowing where it had
come from), 05 didn't open properly anty more and we got an error message
suggesting we use Text Converter. Clicking OK brought the same two windows
but we had lost the table so presumably it was in M.

TIA
Graham
