Reggie names a Tool something that requires drawing a rectangle with the 
mouse before it can be inserted (in addition to text editing and frame 
editing, the first two items under Tools).
Yes, this is quite strange for the user. :-)

What about moving those insertions to Insert and moving what's under Extra 
under Tools as you suggest ?

This has been talked about a long time ago, but there was never a real 
discussion and even less an agreement.

Reggie, do you want to maintain KWord's menus as they are, or do you trust 
me / kde-look / anyone else for making those menus more intuitive for the 
user ? :-)
Thanks !
