Re: Writer TextTable access via the UNO API

Hi,

Just to update for anyone who might find this useful, I ended up using the
XTextRange interface of XCell to call #getText(), which returns an object
that properly supports the full Text service and which ended up allowing me
to iterate over paragraphs and text portions.
