The only places you could have been clicking at that moment was on non-text frames. Like on the page-background (the 1.5 cm space on every side of the page). The _very_ basic rule is that people click where they want to type. Its even inconsistent with other GUI parts, try pressing esc in a dialog, see it this makes you able to edit the text in that dialog. -- Thomas Zander zander@earthling.net The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new _______________________________________________ Koffice-devel mailing list Koffice-devel@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
