No, too different.

No, that's very much depending on the design of the text object/wordprocessor.

No, the whole KTextObject is one of the most crappy pieces of code I ever
wrote. I would have rewritten it already, but I'm waiting for the editable
QRichTextEdit which Matthias E. is writing in will come into Qt 2.1. I'll then
switch to this one as this can do the same + some more stuff and is already in
Qt then. It works really fine and also uses my favourite Wp design: a format
context :-)
