The problem is that the anchor.text of a nested table does not return the text
of the table that the nested table is in, it returns its own text. For a table
that is not nested it correctly returns the text that contains the table.

The following basic macro fragment is a cut down version of a macro for
determining the location of the insertion point (main body of the document,
header, footer, frame, etc).

oVC = thisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
oText = oVC.text
while oText.getImplementationName = "SwXCell"
	print oText.createTextCursor.textTable.name
	oText = oText.createTextCursor.textTable.anchor.text
wend
msgbox oText.getImplementationName


The problem exists in OOo2.2 for Linux (SuSe10.2), OOo2.2 for Windows
(Windows2000), and OOo2.1 for X11.

From issue 27268 I gather that the precise location of an anchor is not returned
but it would seem reasonable that at least the correct text area is returned.
How else can one ascertain what type of area the current insertion point is in?

I haven't found a work around for this issue.
