I find myself trying to add significant amounts of text to drawings. Some boilerplate,
cut lists and detailed instructions. It would be quite helpful if you would consider
the following...

1 - Please add a method to find the corners of an existing text box and allow it
to be reshaped and resized.

2 - (Mac) I tried cutting and pasting tables out of Open Office into a text box.
At first it looked spectacular. Then I hit return and all the formatting was lost.
Please consider the ability to cut and paste tables out of Open Office and M$ Excel
into text boxes.

thanks

Dennis

when the text box is selected, you can show the resizing points with menu -> edit -> show points.
or maybe a better way: take "deep select tool" to select the box text object. the points are displayed and you can move directly a point with mouse. try this with gripper off.
