Opinion? Excellent!! :-) "Insert" makes more user sense.

While using KPresenter extensively lately, I learned to love KOffice even
more than kwm/kpanel/multihead :-) On thing I largely hate about ms office
is the *high* inconsistency of look and feel among members apps. 

Hey, don't look at me like this. Just try to format the indenting (using
the ruler bar) in ms word and in ms powerpoint and you'll understand what
I mean.

What is the chance/feasability to make 90% of KOffice functionality a
library tool, thus common to all apps?


Thanks

Cristian
