  16. Sorry I haven't tested this yet in R1, but I was planning on creating an embedded text part something like this 
  17. (which is pretty much what the D11 Insert menu item did):
  18. ...
  19.         ODPart* odEmbeddedPart;
  20.         ODStorageUnit* su = fPart->GetStorageUnit(ev);
  21.         
  22.         // ----- Create part that edits type 'TEXT' using whatever editor user has set in Editor Setup -----
  23.   ODValueType textKind = GetSession(ev)->GetTranslation(ev)->GetISOTypeFromPlatformType(ev, kTEXTOSType, kODPlatformDataType);
  24.         odEmbeddedPart = su->GetDraft(ev)->CreatePart(ev, textKind, NULL);
  25.         FW_ASSERT(odEmbeddedPart);
  26.         odEmbeddedPart->Externalize(ev);
  27.         
  28.         // ----- Create the default frame shape -----
  29.         FW_CAcquiredODShape frameShape = ::FW_NewODShape(ev, FW_CRect(FW_kZeroPoint, fNewPartSize));
  30.  
  31.         // ----- Embed the part -----
  32.      fSelectionContent->SingleEmbeddedFrameInternalized(ev,    fFrame, odEmbeddedPart, 
  33.                                                             NULL, 
  34.                                                             frameShape, fViewType);
  35.  
  36.         odEmbeddedPart->Release(ev);
  37. ...
  38.  
  39. Does this seem like the right approach?
