Missing feature, not too hard to add.

Oh ? The code has rowSpan and colSpan AFAIK. Laurent, Thomas ?

Well, either the table is floating (in which case its position depends on where you insert
it in the text) or it's not floating (in which case you can move it freely, it becomes independent
of the text around it).
For floating tables, you can even use a tabulator to position it on the line if you want.

Yes, I wondered about how to do something like that too.
For the moment we kept the old KWord's method, switching between the two modes.
I agree that clicking on the border should go to the edit-frames mode automatically
and clicking in the text should go back to normal mode (and then maybe we can
even remove the tools from the menu). What do the other developers think about that ?
