Er, except that the questioner is asking about 
formulae in table cells in a text (Writer) document - not in a spreadsheet.

You can put the cursor into a table cell in a 
text document, but you then need to use Table | 
Formula or to press F2 to open the Input Line to display the formula.

And there appears to be no equivalent of that 
Options / Preferences setting for table formulae rather than spreadsheets.

I trust this helps.
