1. Search Help for "table formula".

No explanation can be found.

Wouldn't it be this help page?

https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/02/14020000.html?DbPAR=WRITER

Maybe you did not find it because it lacks the "table formula" bookmark.

Thanks. Adding the bookmark would be helpful I guess. It seems a formula in a table is sometimes called "table formula" and sometimes just "formula". A consistent approach would be helpful.
