Edit blocks directly from table cells.

If you have legends and other tables with cells containing blocks, you may need to edit such blocks.

As there is no direct method for starting REFEDIT or BEDIT commands from the cell contents, the TCE add-on utility could help here. The TCE command lets you select a table cell and then starts the block editor on the block contained in the selected cell.

You can download the free TCE utility from Download.
