The location at which text or a node is inserted.

The insertion point for text appears as a flashing vertical bar. As you type text, the flashing vertical bar moves to the right of the text you type.

A text insertion point also defines the place in the text where you want to paste cut or copied items or, with the Text Editor, insert files and templates. The copied, cut, or inserted item(s) are pasted or inserted to the left of the insertion point.

When you insert a page break with the Text Editor, the page break is inserted in its own line to the left of the insertion point.

In the name and value fields of the Waveform Editor, a selected node or group is an insertion point. When you insert a node in the Waveform Editor, the node is placed above the insertion point.
