Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71579
No TOC menu in context menu when the TOC is inside of a table.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:39 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.
Created attachment 40593 [details] OOo Writer 2.0.4 doc with 3 TOC examples
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...)
ES->OS: we need the TOC context menu when a TOC is inside of a table.
