Hi,
For me it's more easy to indicate where you want put your frame. Word use the 
same method (perhaps it's not good), but I think all people know how to do.
You define after your position and not before, it's more logical no ?
Me when I want to create a inline frame, I click on button and after I 
position my cursor, and not position my cursor and after click on the button.

If cursor is not active so I think that people doens't understand how to do to
position inline frame.
With my method, you can all the time position you frame, same as cursor is 
inactive. No ?


Bye
