Description R. Green 2020-06-18 17:32:58 UTC

Created attachment 162184 [details]
Specimen writer file

Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

1. Open the attached writer file.
2. Try to create a table in the footnotes area on page 1.

EXPECTED RESULT: Ability to create table from menu.
ACTUAL RESULT: All the create table options are greyed out.

This is surprising since there are plenty of examples in pubished works where tables in footnotes are invaluable or necessary.

SUGGESTION: Allow user to create tables in footnotes and endnotes areas.
