how do I use the open and repair function

[courtgeek]

I received this message when I opened a document:
This error message may be the result of a corrupt table in the current
document.
You can recover the contents of the document and the table by closing the
document and reopening it using the Open and Repair option of the Open dialog
(File menu). To find the Open and Repair option, select the down arrow next
to the Open button. The Open and Repair option is at the bottom of the menu.
After the file is repaired, the corruption or incorrect formatting of all
tables in the document should be corrected.

However, when I go to File/Open - there is no down arrow next to the open
button. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Select your file first and then instead of clicking on Open, there will be a
little arrow sharing the Open button. Click on that arrow and select Open
and repair.

You should see the little arrow (on the right of the Open button) if you
first select a document in the dialog box.
