Description: Three issues related to converting endnotes to footnotes. And probably vise versa. Here we go: 1. Type "foo" 2. Insert an endnote "bar" 3. Return to "foo" 3. To convert "bar" to footnote, select its anchor (that is, lowercase i after "foo"), open the context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote", and then select "Footnote" under "Type". 3.1. And here we have the first issue. I expect that instead of using the context menu, I can use the menu bar: Select lowercase i after "foo" > "Insert" > "Footnote and Endnote" > "Footnote or Endnote" > Select "Footnote" under "Type". But this will create a new (blank) footnote instead of converting "bar" from endnote to footnote. 4. Create a table, type "aaa" in it, insert endnote "bbb" after it, select its anchor, and open its context menu. 4.1. And here we have the second issue. There is no "Footnote or Endnote" item in context menu, so you need to put "aaa" out of table, convert the endnote to footnote, and then place "aaa" in table again. 5. And the third issue is that in one of my documents the solution from 4.1 doesn't work. When I put "aaa" out of table, select ii anchor after it, open its context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote", and then select "Footnote" under "Type", it selects the whole table (yeah, "aaa" it out of table of this mome) And now the 3rd issue, the worst. Creat two tables with 3 columns and 2 rows each, seperated by the empty line. Type "aaa" and insert endnote "foo" in the first cell of the 1st table. Type "bbb" and insert endnote "bar" in the first cell of the 2nd table. Now put "aaa" out of its table to change its endnote to footnote. Select the anchor, open its context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote". And now the window "Edit Footnote/Endnote" has opened and you can select "Footnote" under "Type". Right? Not so far! As you probably see, Writer selected everything below the first anchor. See the attached image. And if you select "Footnote", nothing will happen. Converting won't work. You will need to put your "aaa" into **another document** to fix this.

I just realized that to change endnote to footnote (or vice versa), after I have selected it, I should probably use "Edit > Reference > Footnote or Endnote", and not "Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Footnote or Endnote". This explains why the first issue exists. But this doesn't explain/justify/fix the second and the third issues. Also, if I am right and windows * "Edit > Reference > Footnote or Endnote" * "Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Footnote or Endnote" work differently, it may be a good idea to make them **look** differently as well.
(In reply to John from comment #2) > Also, if I am right and windows > * "Edit > Reference > Footnote or Endnote" > * "Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Footnote or Endnote" > work differently, it may be a good idea to make them **look** differently as > well. The first dialog is named "Edit Footnote/Endnote" and the second is named "Insert Footnote/Endnote". So personally I think, that difference is clear.
First issue is obsolete. But I can confirm second and third issue with Version: 7.2.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 02b2acce88a210515b4a5bb2e46cbfb63fe97d56 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL But since there is the basic rule "One issue / one bug report" we should focus on third issue (because you call it the worst). I changed bug summary to that. Please open new report for second problem. Steps to reproduce 1. Open an new document. 2. Write at least one word and add endnote 3. Add a table, insert some text in first cell and add an endnote to that text 4. Select first endnote. 5. Open "Edit Footnote/Endnote - Dialog" (with context menu or with Edit => Reference => Footnote or Endnote Actual result: Table is also selected and it's impossible to change endnote into footnote Expected result: Only endnote anchor is selected
No repro LO 4.2.0 Repro 4.2.8 and 7.4+. Regression.
