DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118808] New: MS Word docx file missing mox and text in box when opened in Writer

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118808

             Bug #: 118808
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: MS Word docx file missing mox and text in box when
                    opened in Writer
    Classification: Application
           Product: Word processor
           Version: OOO330m20
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: open-import
        AssignedTo: writerneedsconfirm@openoffice.org

MS Word file saved in Word 2002, with text inside and outside a box

When I open the attached MS Word document, in MS Word 2002, the box and the
text in the box both show up fine (as well as some text outside the box).

When I open the attached MS Word document, in Open Office Writer, the text in
the box, and the box, don't show up. Only the text outside the box shows up.

The original document was made in MS Word, but I don't know what version, as it
was sent to me. I opened the MS Word document in Word 2002, changed it to this
sample document, and then saved it (while in MS Word 2002). Writer still
doesn't show the box or the text in the box. Only the text that was outside the
box shows up in Writer.

This is a fairly serious issue for us, as my son is receiving MS Word documents
for school regularly, and if things keep disappearing because someone put some
text in a box, we won't be able to use Open Office. If you can fix this, we
would really appreciate it, as we really like Open Office (and we don't like
the new Word interface, or it's incompatibility with our Word 2002).

Thank you.

I could successfully replicate the bug using  writer of open office version
3.4.1 on windows 7 home premium edition.
Reproduction Steps:
1) Open the attached document provided in the original bug report in MS Word
2) Open the attached document provided in the original bug report in Open
Office  Writer
When I opened the attached document in MS Word 2010, I could see the box and
could read the text in the box. 
When I opened the attached document in Writer, there was no box and I could not
read the text written inside the box. Only the text outside of the text box
showed up.
This bug is important to customers. Text boxes are used widely in a word
document. Customers especially students will not be able to view their
assignments properly because of this bug.
