One possibility here is that structure of your document is more complex
than simply cells of table. Have you perhaps got a table - even if only
of a single cell - inside a cell of another table? If so, you may have
the relevant cell of the outer, containing table protected with the cell
of the inner table not protected. As the outer cell is protected, you
cannot change the properties of the inner table cell, so the Cell >
submenu there will indeed show a greyed-out <No selection possible>.
The solution is to unprotect the outer table cell. If there is no room
to get your cursor into the outer table cell without it being also in
the inner table cell (so you cannot get to the relevant context menu),
put the cursor at the end of the text in the inner cell and press
Alt+Enter. You'll then have space to get to the context menu you require.
I trust this helps.
Thanks for the suggestion. Even though the document structure is very
simple (I don't think there are nested tables), I have tried what you
advised. However, this does not work because 'Alt+Enter' modifies the
cell (inserts a newline), something I cannot do for my read-only cell.
The key combination thus does nothing, whereas it does insert the
newline when I am in the other part of the document (the one which is
writable).
Unless you have more suggestions, at this point, I think I will open a
bug report so that I can attach the document and people can try things out.
