Description bmarcelly 2008-10-18 10:54:10 UTC 
In 3.0.0 the names of the cells of Writer tables is changed, for complex tables 
(split and/or merged cells).

Formerly you got names like C2.1.1 after some split and join. Now cell names change 
across the table so that there is always simple names (C5, F3, etc).

Look at the Developer's Guide pages :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/
Tables#Table_Architecture
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/
Named_Table_Cells_in_Rows%2C_Columns_and_the_Table_Cursor

These pages reflect the naming scheme that was valid before 3.0.
No documentation is bad, but outdated documentation is worse.

Alos found in the IDL com :: sun :: star :: text :: interface XTextTable

Description of getCellByName, Parameter aCellName : the information about cell 
splitting should be removed.
