+Subject: [PATCH] rhbz#842552 always create text content
+
+The following line in oox::drawingml::table::TableCell::pushToXCell
+suggests that it is assumed that the cell always contains text:
+
+Reference< text::XText > xText( rxCell, UNO_QUERY_THROW );
+
+So TableCell should always hold a valid TextBody too.
+
