  1. Make a copy of the DOCX before inspection.
  2. Choose the DOCX table viewer and select the local document.
  3. Compare the table rows and headings against any available source.
  4. Inspect cells that appear blank or merged; layout can be simplified.
  5. Export or edit tables using a trusted document editor if precision is required.
