Put it in Edit and call it "Selector" or something. Anyway, putting
together in "Tool" the selector and the embedable parts/insertable

No, I was talking about ms word/ ms powerpoit explicitely, but it's tru
that I would like to see/help make that one day in the future KWord's

the same thing, with the same usability (a part?)
