Someone has received a Word document in the form of a table from off of the internet.
It should be possible to type data into the empty cells - but anything that is typed simply appears as spaces!
Saving the document using a different name and opening the saved document gives the same results.
I've never encountered this before, so would be interested in suggestions!
[This is a cut-down version, bereft of compromising material!]

All my life I have tried multiplying really large numbers by zero.
That amounted to nothing.

Alan - you must be equally brilliant, but second!
I am not sure of the mentality of whoever created the original document - unless it was intended for printing out and writing on as well...

But if I'd seen it first, I would have been first! I'm happy with that.
I have seen a few like that, designed to be printed on dark paper. But to send it in that form is either careless or crazy.
