OK, let's put the question differently: why do we need to have these two different things? I could invent 17 other types of notes and boxes just for the pleasure to have them in the menus. Ans EmbeddedObjects does not tell me why I should use a framed note instead of a framed box. > Then we have to divide the different note types. Why??? A note began its life as something that is just not real output in a final document. A box is something that can be useful as in a final document. Why shall we want to have notes that are not really notes but somehow like boxes except that they appear in the box menu? > Btw. could you have a look at the request to count characters, this > seems to be really important in some fields.
