That is a very important issue; thanks for clarifying it here. To meet such very real needs, any system for combining typesetting and graphics needs to make the distinction betwen them clear and preserve this distinction in the various user interfaces. Of course, there are cases, especially in teaching materials and adverts, where the local structure does mean that there is no clear distinction between the two, but there is also a large area where the distinction is clear. chris
