FrameMaker cannot insert the table cell (tableCell) at the current position. A cell must be in a table row.
b comment from me!
I can't see where the problem is coming from here :-{ (some more of your) patient help and explanations will be appreciated. While I'm waiting, I'll try replacing [TEXT] as the content for a tableCell with a new element.

Answer 1

Niels,
To elaborate a bit on Van's comment, formatting set for ancestors is not inherited by tables or by footnotes. FrameMaker assumes that these constructs are formatted differently than text in a "regular" flow. Furthermore, the default formatting for tables and footnotes differs from that for body paragraphs. If your EDD has no relevant format rules:
Paragraph format Body applies to body paragraphs.
The paragraph format your document uses for footnotes (or table footnotes) is used for footnotes. Use Format > Document > Footnote Properties to inspect or change the paragraph tag.
The table format determines the paragraph format used for any table title and the cells in the table. In particular, when the table format was created or last updated, it stores the paragraph format used for any table title and in each column of the first row of whichever of the three parts of the table (heading, body, footing) exist. The stored paragraph format applies to the table title, and the paragraph format stored in the first column of the row in the relevant table part applies to all cells in that part of the table.
