Well, I think that they're a good way to store different ideas between
documents.  Of course if they could be easily edited, and if specific
elements from them could be dragged to and from different
documents/libraries, they'd be a lot more useful.

The good thing about libraries is that I can store elements in them for use
in a couple of years time if needs be.  If such information were to be
stored only within documents, and then transferred to a new document, then I
have to remember which documents they were stored in, etc.  More hassle and
more brainwork (IMO).

Yes, that's correct.  The contextual menu leads to a dialog box that doesn't
seem accessible any other way - quite strange and bad interface design it
seems to me.

Thanks for this tip - I didn't think of doing this.  Still, it would be nice
to hide them during normal operations as well.

I go to the Forza home page and drool regularly, don't worry about that! :-)
