Description foxcole 2006-11-15 17:21:38 UTC 
Insert a TOC into a table cell (our docs use tables for page layout), with
Insert>Indexes and Tables> Indexes and Tables. (Optional whether to deselect
"protect against manual changes"--happens either way.) Leave the remaining
default values.

With Writer 2.0.4 (initial release build), I can no longer edit or update a TOC
inserted in a table cell. (Our documents use tables to control page layout.) It
_looks_ like a field but no longer has the field edit functions: right-click
menu just contains paragraph style editing; also, the menu bar's Edit menu
"field" option is disabled.

When I try to delete it, all but one paragraph mark is deleted. That final
paragraph (blank but shaded like a field, with Contents1 paragraph style,
associated with Heading1) cannot be deleted. (I have a feeling it could be if I
could access the field commands, to delete.)

NOTES: 
A TOC field _not_ inserted in a table cell works correctly. 
The TOC inserted in a table cell worked correctly in previous versions of Writer.
I have a sample document but there's no way to attach it.

Reassigned to ES.

ES->foxcole: for the second problem (deleting a non protected TOC at the top of
the cell):
- set the cursor at the very begining of the TOC
- press Enter
-> the TOC has noe 2 paragraphs
- set the cursor at the very begining of the TOC again
- press Alt+Enter
-> a blank paragraph is created before the TOC
- press Del 2 times
-> the TOC is gone.

I know this is neither intuitive nor really understandable, it's just a
workaround for the problems we have with "someething stucks at the top
something" (Section, paragraph, page, table cell...)
Comment 5 eric.savary 2006-11-16 09:11:47 UTC 
ES->OS: we need the TOC context menu when a TOC is inside of a table.
