These might not be tables. They may be frames of some sort. When the gray shows, can you right click in the area or in the gray portion and obtain a context menu? Does it suggest any interesting options?
Also, when you click in the gray areas, do any toolbars open up? Next, what shows as the style when you click in one of the grayed areas? And finally, what did you write the stories in originally? Can you do it again with something unimportant and reproduce the phenomenon? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: 20rdj04 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 21:13 To: [email protected] Subject: [libreoffice-users] table deletion. save text In a lot of my stories, old and new, LibreOffice thinks they are tables; that is, there is a gray box around several paragraphs, usually toward the end. Or, starting with the 1st or second or third or... paragraph to the end. I want to keep the stories, but delete the 'tables'. I have tried to put the cursor into the top left corner of the box and 'table delete.' Actually, I can't find Table|Delete: I find Table|Convert. Convert shows Text to Table and Table to Text, but Table to Text is grayed out. I have tried to gray the story, and convert table to text. One story I Saved As text; paragraphs now run together. I have no trouble moving the cursor from the first line to the last (Ctrl-End), but if I try to go back to the first line (Ctrl-Home), the cursor will stop inside the top corner of the box. The most recent story I downloaded has the gray box from just below the title to the end. I can click on table in the (top) menu, which will show Insert, Delete, and Select. When I click on Select, all four choices (Table, Rows, Columns, Cells) are grayed out. I didn't get all my macro questions answered, but I'll come back to those later on. Right now, I am only worried about the gray boxes.
