    Visual cut/copy/paste implemented. Platforms need genImageFromRectangle to
    get it.

    OK, to use this,

    1. High light some text.
    2. Move your mouse into the highlighted region.
    (The mouse pointer changes shape to the image drag symbol)
    3. Left mouse press for cut (control-left or double click for copy)
    then hold down the left mouse, drag the selected text.
    4. Move the text so that the top left corner of the text is where you want
    it to go.
    5. Release the mouse button, the text goes in where you want it.

    Right now I don't handle scrolling, but this is easy to add.

    I'm really happy with this. It works eaxctly like I hoped it would.

    I don't know if MS Word XP has this feature. MS Word 2000 certainly
    doesn't nor does OOo

    So enjoy our new feature :-)

    Cheers

    Martin
