Confused me. What I have/had in mind doesn't require lots of changes.. At least
nothing substantial.. so where surely not on the same page..

In intended to say: Create an new entry in "Insert" called 'Textbox Frame".
Which would trigger the same .uno link as Insert -> Frame -> Interactive frame. 
And move the 'insert textbox (.uno:DrawText) to Insert -> Shape

Frames are already handled by import/export filters. So not proposing something
new.. And Textbox shapes are converted to frames already on DOCX/DOC
export/import. 

It's in fact only shuffling around menu entry's and some renaming.

There are obviously some more area's where this needs to happen (toolbar). But
this is seen from the amount of work simply a "cosmetic" change. 

Documentation would obviously not appreciating this (in the sense of re-doing).
No clue if this would make explaining easier.

One objection is obviously using using 2 names for the same tool? (Textbox
frame = Interactive frame). But well textbox is currently a drawing object (so
in fact a shape without background). Same distinction would be Textbox frame
inserting without pre-set border. 

But now I'm ask myself what had Stuart in mind when read in my proposal? We are
apparently talking about something different?
