As others have said, pull every tag out of the <Table> structure tags.

But the best solution is to go back to the source file and remove the table there. If in Word, select the table and convert it to text, and then style it appropriately for the tags.

And get the original content creator trained in how to make accessible documents. There's no good excuse today to let this type of crap into documents.
