2003 won't open doc with table created in word 2000

[Gladys]

I have a user who uses word 2000. In her monthly minutes she created a table
and saved as a normal word document. She emailed this document to several
people.

Any recipients who have word 2003 are unable to open this document. Users
with Word 2000 or XP are able to view this file. When I open and repair in
2003 I can see the text where the tables are suppose to be.

Any suggestions? No we are unable to afford to upgrade all users to office
2003.
