Research direction

Start at Container.RemoveParagraphAt(Int32 index), where the stack trace shows the failing removal, and reproduce the issue with a Table cell containing three paragraphs and index 0. Compare the behavior with removal on a DocX instance; done means RemoveParagraph and RemoveParagraphAt remove the selected cell paragraph without throwing ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When applied to Table cell's paragraphs, functions RemoveParagraph and RemoveParagraphAt throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
Stack:

  System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException(ExceptionArgument argument, ExceptionResource resource)
  System.Collections.Generic.List`1.RemoveAt(Int32 index)
  Xceed.Document.NET.Container.RemoveParagraphAt(Int32 index)

I attempted to remove at index = 0 with 3 paragraphs in the cell of a common Word table.

When applied to DocX instance, its OK.
