Yes. Text inside Word text boxes / shapes is not rendered in the editor.
In our .docx templates (especially legal/corporate letter templates), important content such as address blocks or positioned text is often stored inside a Text Box / Shape.
When opening these files in the editor, the normal paragraph text is displayed, but the text inside the shape is missing.
This makes some real-world templates unusable, because key visible content is not shown.
Describe the solution you'd like
Support rendering text content inside Word text boxes / shapes (at least basic/plain text rendering).
A good first step would already be:
- render text from shape/text box content
- preserve its approximate position
- support common use cases from Word templates (e.g. address/header blocks)
If full styling is difficult, even partial support (plain text only) would be very helpful.
Additional context
This is reproducible with a minimal Word file:
- Create a new .docx in Microsoft Word
- Insert a Text Box (Insert -> Text Box) or a Shape and choose text box
- Enter some text (e.g. @address@)
- Add normal paragraph text outside the shape
- Save the file
- Open it in the editor
Result: normal paragraph text is visible, shape/text box text is missing.
This matters a lot for legal/business templates, where letterheads and address areas are often implemented with positioned shapes/text boxes.
