Hi Matteo, What Miklos said and maybe another clue - SdrTextObj [1] (and other related objects like SdrRectObject). They are used in Draw (and use editeng) but are also cross component. However I don't know anything more about this. :) Regards, Tomaž [1] - http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/source/svdraw/svdotext.cxx
